Senior Precision Opto-Mechanical Systems Engineer

Role Purpose

We are looking for a talented and hands-on Precision Opto-Mechanical Systems Engineer to join our metrology Engineering team. In this role, you will be responsible for the integration, validation, and optimization of advanced measurement and test systems supporting the development of next-generation micro-optics and co-packaged optics connectivity solutions.

You will work at the interface of optics, mechanics, automation, software, and manufacturing to bring new metrology concepts from development into robust, scalable, and high-throughput systems. This position is ideal for an engineer who enjoys solving complex technical challenges, working with multidisciplinary teams, and turning innovative ideas into reliable industrial solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Integrate complex measurement and test systems combining optical, mechanical, electrical, and software components.
• Support the development, assembly, commissioning, and validation of advanced metrology systems for R&D and manufacturing applications.
• Collaborate with R&D, process engineering, automation, software, and manufacturing teams to ensure successful system integration and deployment.
• Troubleshoot system-level issues related to hardware, alignment, motion control, sensors, optics, and data acquisition.
• Develop and execute system integration plans, test protocols, and validation procedures.
• Optimize system performance in terms of accuracy, repeatability, throughput, and reliability.
• Support the transfer of newly developed measurement systems into production environments.
• Work with external suppliers and contractors to specify, integrate, and qualify components and subsystems.
• Document system architecture, integration steps, test results, and technical recommendations.
• Contribute to continuous improvement activities related to system robustness, maintainability, and industrialization.
• Stay informed about emerging technologies in metrology, automation, micro-optics, and precision engineering.

Experiences & Education
