Looking for testing or installing fiber optic products. Candidates might have experience in data centers or in the field installing cables (splicing for example). Sometimes they must test and assure they have continuity.

Top skills required:

- Computer skills for data processing and data analysis.

- Familiarity with basic measurement tools (gauges, scales, micrometers)

- Able to physically pull/maneuver optical fiber cables and be exposed to temperature changes during test execution.

- Candidates with fusion splicing skills as well as optical fiber cable installation are highly desirable.

- Be a team player - this position requires interaction with many team members

- Candidates must be willing to perform heavy duty activities and hands-on work (demands physical activity lifting weights, pulling items, moving items between locations); also, perform testing under extreme temperature conditions (104F and -22F). Candidates must have some experience in a metrology laboratory environment or material testing environment, being exposed to testing products (optical fiber cables and/or optical fiber connectors, material dimensional testing, among others).

• Assist in performing set up and performance verification of fiber optic testing products

• Configure product samples (cables and connectors) for environmental and mechanical testing

• Perform optical measurements using manual or automated test systems

• Program and operate environmental chambers and mechanical test equipment

• Setup/perform and track/report progress of testing as directed

• Document test results from optical fiber component testing as per documented procedures

• Conduct basic data analysis

• Draft test reports in the proper format and filed accordingly

• Assist in conducting failure mode analysis

• Perform basic troubleshooting/problem solving

• Maintain a safe, clean and organized work area

2. Required Skills

• Familiarity with computer applications such as Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Excel

• Ability to complete assignments accurately and at a predefined schedule

• Detail oriented

• Interpersonal skills and ability to work in a team

• Written/verbal communication skills

• Hands-on technical skills using test and measurement equipment

3. Desired Skills

• Highly motivated and work as a “self-starter”

• Willingness to learn

4. Education/Experience

• High School diploma minimum

• Previous experience in fiber optics

• Experience in a metrology/testing laboratory environment is highly desirable

5. Additional Requirements

- Candidates must have good eyesight, must have ability to handle very small, delicate parts. Must be a quick learner and have confidence in their ability.
