Build and maintain benchtop test systems used for engineering evaluation and proof-of-concept demonstrations.
Install and remove sockets, DUT fixtures, optical load boards, optical components, connector assemblies, actuator mechanisms, and associated hardware.
Assemble precision mechanical components including brackets, mounts, alignment features, stages, slides, and prototype mechanisms.
Support evaluation and testing of new mechanical concepts by preparing and modifying prototype assemblies.
Assist engineers with integration and reconfiguration of development hardware.

Optical Hardware Handling

Handle fiber optic cables, optical connectors, and optical assemblies using established procedures.
Route and secure fiber optic cables while maintaining proper fiber handling practices and bend radius requirements.
Inspect and clean optical connectors as required.
Assist with installation and removal of optical receptacles, optical engines, optical cables, and related hardware.
Maintain good optical handling practices around sensitive photonics hardware.

Laboratory Support

Prepare test systems for engineering use.
Install cables, cooling connections, fixtures, and supporting hardware.
Assist engineers during setup, teardown, and reconfiguration activities.
Maintain laboratory hardware in an organized and operational condition.

Documentation and Inventory

Maintain build records and assembly documentation.
Document hardware configurations and changes.
Track prototype hardware, fixtures, engineering samples, and laboratory assets.
Support inventory management for commonly used laboratory materials and components.
Assist with receiving, organizing, and storing development hardware.

Required Qualifications
