Electromechanical Integration & Design
Own the electromechanical integration and packaging of EO, OE, photonic, and RF modules, including electrical structures, interconnects, thermal systems, packaging, and enclosure design. Design and integrate transmission lines, interposers, PCBs, connectors, flex circuits, wire/ribbon bonds, and related interconnect technologies. Co-design electrical layouts and mechanical housings to ensure proper fit, alignment, thermal performance, manufacturability, reliability, and signal integrity. Specify and integrate TECs, thermistors, drivers, and control electronics while supporting power budgeting and thermal management. Design fixtures, tooling, and support hardware for assembly, testing, and qualification activities. Testing & Characterization
Develop and execute electrical test plans, including continuity, functional, and S-parameter characterization. Develop data acquisition, automation, and analysis tools using Python or similar scripting languages. Build and qualify test fixtures, jigs, and automated measurement systems. Support hardware troubleshooting, root-cause investigations, and corrective actions. Manufacturing & Productization
Build and maintain component libraries using distributor data from Digi-Key, Mouser, and other approved suppliers. Author assembly procedures, work instructions, and engineering documentation. Collaborate with manufacturing and suppliers to improve yield, reliability, cost, and manufacturability Support qualification efforts to standards such as MIL-STD-883, Telcordia GR-468, and related reliability requirements. Drive successful transfer of designs from prototype development into manufacturing, including process documentation, design-for-manufacturing (DFM), yield improvement, and production support.
