We are seeking an innovative and detail-oriented engineer to design and develop advanced fiber optic connectors, focusing on performance, manufacturability, and cost-efficiency. The role involves working with various materials such as plastic injection molded parts, machined components, and 3D printed prototypes to create connectors that enhance optical performance.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and develop fiber optic connectors and their individual components.
• Support product improvement initiatives and projects as required.
• Optimize designs through Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Tolerance analysis.
• Gain expertise in injection molding materials used in our products.
• Collaborate with engineers to provide feedback and assist with product design iterations.
• Work alongside R&D technicians to carry out testing, analysis, and documentation of projects.
• Train technicians on processes and equipment when necessary.
• Communicate project progress regularly through meetings, reports, and presentations.
• Offer technical support to product managers, sales, and manufacturing teams.
• Prepare conference papers on emerging technologies or products.
• Maintain documentation for potential patent submissions.

Equipment You Will Use:

• Precision gauging equipment such as calipers and micrometers.
• Vision measurement systems and microscopes.
• PC with MS Office software.

Qualifications:

Preferred Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in a technical or engineering discipline (Mechanical Engineering preferred).
• 3-5 years of experience in the fiber optic industry or communications systems (including cooperative education programs).
• Strong understanding of fiber optic assemblies, connectors, and testing processes.
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
• Excellent interpersonal, verbal, and written communication skills with a focus on clear and concise idea delivery.
• Ability to evaluate customer needs, functional criteria, and testing outcomes.
• Basic proficiency with MS Office tools.
• Experience with CAD software.
• Familiarity with Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a plus.
• Understanding of Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) is preferred.
