• Be the driving force for new processes
• Work as a team to solve problems
• Develop and build fixtures for standardized testing
• Create, modify and enforce company procedures

Requirements:

• One to three years of product test experience in a manufacturing environment with some experience with:

• Electronics - basic electrical measurements
• Fiber Optics - including passive devices.
• Lasers - Up to and including kW class laser devices.

• Experience with optical and electrical test methods in support of active fiber devices such as fiber amplifiers and lasers.
• Good working knowledge of Oscilloscopes, Optical Spectrum Analyzers, Photo receivers, and power meters.
• Familiarity with IPC-610 workmanship standards.
• Ability to interpret optical and electrical schematics is desired.
• Electrical troubleshooting skills a plus.
• Ability to strip, cleave, and splice optical fibers.
• Basic soldering skills and ESD awareness is a plus.
• General knowledge of Fiber Optic components and test equipment is helpful.
• QA Experience with data collection and analysis
• Decision-making and ability to make recommendations based on analysis required.
• Familiarity in working in an ISO 9001 environment is desired

General:

• Excellent communication skills.
• Must understand manufacturing processes.
• Hand-eye coordination with meticulous attention to detail
• Candidate must have the ability to work independently as well as contribute to a team effort.
• Overtime may be required to achieve monthly/quarterly goals.
• Must be a self-starter.
• ASEE, ASEO, or equivalent experience desired.
• Must be computer literate.

Physical Requirements:

• Perform bench testing on active fiber devices and components
• Estimate of time standing/sitting: 50% each. Chairs are provided at each work station. May have to stand and sit to complete a test on each device. It would be at the operator's discretion to stand or sit for most operations.
• Lifting requirements:
• The candidate must be able to routinely lift up to 40 pounds during the day however; most OEM modules weigh =15 pounds.
• Must be able to work overtime. (1-2 hours/day typical when overtime is needed. Some full day OT may be required.)
