What You’ll Be Doing
-
Designing and optimizing opto-mechanical systems, with a focus on optical alignment, thermal management, and mechanical performance.
-
Bringing Design for Manufacturing (DFM) principles into the development process to streamline production.
-
Conducting engineering analysis to validate designs for durability, manufacturability, and cost-effectiveness.
-
Supporting manufacturing teams with tooling and techniques for high-precision production.
-
Managing supply chain relationships for mechanical components and ensuring seamless integration into production.
What You Bring
-
A degree in Physics, Optics, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field, with at least two years of experience.
-
Proficiency in CAD software like SolidWorks and analysis tools like COMSOL.
-
Experience designing aerospace or space structures, plus an understanding of mass manufacturing and electronic component integration.
-
Strong problem-solving skills-whether it’s optimizing optical alignment or refining manufacturing techniques.
-
A hands-on approach, with the ability to document processes and develop standard operating procedures.
Bonus Points For
-
Experience designing manufacturing test equipment and optical system calibration.
-
Knowledge of geometric and modern optics.
-
Familiarity with ERP/MRP systems like SAP or NetSuite.
-
Mandarin language skills for working with regional suppliers.
Location & Relocation Support
