Execute robust opto-mechanical design practices including precision mechanisms, kinematics, laser packaging, and thermal control.
Perform engineering analyses using hand calculations and simulation to drive design decisions. Typical methods include FEA and thermal modeling.
Develop optical alignment processes suitable for automation and repeatability.
Convert customer and internal requirements into explicit, testable engineering specifications with objective acceptance criteria.
Define and maintain mechanical interface requirements, especially those that are interdependent with other cross-functional domains.
Lead technical activities and deliver results on schedule and within budget.
Provide cost, schedule, and resource inputs for design assignments; execute design-to-cost and design-for-manufacture as explicit boundary conditions.
Specify and evaluate supplier components, subsystems, and services with clear acceptance criteria.
Generate engineering artifacts required for release and verification, including models, drawings, analyses, test plans, procedures, and results packages.
Conduct and participate in formal engineering reviews and support failure analysis and proposal activities.
Investigate product and process problems and implement corrective actions that improve conformance, yield, and predictability.
Provide technical leadership and direction to other engineers and support personnel as assigned.
