Responsibilities
Collaborate with engineers and technicians to design and develop new process methods and build automation prototypes for fiber optic termination.
Utilize, develop, or build prototypes to develop process parameters, process capability, and projected rate of industrial system.
Create operational ranges for parameters defined from experimental development.
Support project teams and define project deliverables and timelines.
Work with internal and external subject matter experts to identify key processing technologies and determine feasibility.
Engage global manufacturing plants to capture manufacturability of proposed solutions and support initial implementation of new process technologies.
Collaborate with internal and external equipment and tooling designers to establish functional requirements.
Solve problems and improve processes based on fundamental understanding.
Apply structured problem-solving methods such as KT, designed experimentation, and Six Sigma.
Capture new ideas for possible patent submission and author technical reports disseminating experimental findings.
Ensure requirements are properly developed and documented with appropriate manufacturing, development, and commercial personnel.
Analyze process data using statistical tools (e.g., Pareto, regression, time charting, ANOVA, gauge R&R).
Define experimental plans, measurement methods, and mechanical setups for evaluation of key learning objectives.
Carry out experimental plans by setting up equipment, performing experimentation, data collection and analysis, and providing test reports.
Maintain and improve a safe work environment.
Qualifications
BS in Mechanical or Mechatronics Engineering, or equivalent
Minimum 5 years of engineering experience
Minimum 2 years in a research or experimental laboratory environment working with electrical/mechanical assemblies and testing
