Optical Packaging Engineer

Job description

Are you passionate about pushing the boundaries of optical package design? We're seeking a talented and driven Optical Packaging Engineer to lead the development of next-generation optical solutions. In this role, you'll be at the forefront of innovation, collaborating with cross-functional teams to optimize optical coupling efficiency and ensure seamless transition to mass production. If you're eager to own the design and development of fiber pigtail, lens coupling, and free space optics, while staying abreast of cutting-edge technologies, we encourage you to apply!

Responsibilities

Lead next generation optical package design in collaboration with cross-functional teams, stakeholders and vendors to ensure package requirements are met. Own all the development of all the optical coupling activities and designs: fiber pigtail, lens alignment and coupling, free space optics, gratings, collimators, etc… Optimize the optical coupling efficiency of optical engines and apply Design for Manufacturing principles to meet production volumes and cost targets.

Hand-on process development with the R&D manual aligners and automated aligner within Nokia premises. Survey advanced optical coupling solutions, materials and vendors to stay current with new technological advancements. Own and maintain the process and the manufacturing documentation, along with Bill of Materials for new products. Drive package debug activities during product validation and qualification. Support the development activities at our Contract Manufacturers, both remotely and on-site to ensure a smooth transition to mass production.

Qualifications

You have: 2-4 years of experience. Experience in high-speed electronics package design and laser package design. Experience with optical coupling, fiber pigtail attachment, free space optics. Experience in microelectronics, optoelectronics packaging design and assembly. Knowledgeable in packaging technologies and processes, with glass/ceramic/metal material properties and multilayer materials interfaces after bonding. Hand-on experience with automated alignment tools, fiber optics, epoxy dispensation, optical measurement and metrology.

Experience with documentation of fabrication, inspection, and assembly processes. Solid interpersonal, communication and problem-solving skills in order to interact with engineering staff, external vendors and contractors effectively. Experience with package and process design/development from design to production.

It would be nice if you also had
