Own production yield performance for assigned optical module products, including yield reporting, Pareto analysis, root-cause investigation, and corrective-action closure.
Lead the transition from NPI and pilot builds into volume manufacturing, ensuring process readiness, test readiness, documentation completeness, and manufacturability of released products.
Provide hands-on technical support to overseas contract manufacturers, including build readiness reviews, line issue resolution, failure analysis coordination, and production ramp support.
Analyze optical, electrical, thermal, mechanical, and test data to identify module-level and component-level yield detractors.
Drive structured problem solving using 8D, FMEA, DOE, SPC, fishbone analysis, process capability studies, and other data-driven methods.
Partner with test engineering to improve production test coverage, limits, guard banding, data collection, and automated analysis for high-volume optical module manufacturing.
Work with design, firmware, quality, and supply chain teams to implement corrective actions, engineering changes, process changes, and supplier improvements.
Support manufacturing documentation, work instructions, process controls, training materials, and production release criteria.
Identify opportunities to reduce scrap, rework, cycle time, cost, and production escapes while improving throughput and manufacturing stability.
Participate in customer and internal escalations related to production quality, yield, reliability, or manufacturability.
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Optical Engineering, Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related technical discipline; advanced degree preferred.
7+ years of experience in optical module, optical transceiver, photonics, or related high-precision electro-optical product manufacturing.
Direct experience supporting optical module production in a contract manufacturing environment, preferably with overseas manufacturing partners in Asia.
Demonstrated success improving manufacturing yield, resolving production issues, and transitioning products from NPI into volume manufacturing.
Strong technical understanding of optical module architectures, optical engines, laser and photodiode integration, fiber attach, optical alignment, high-speed electrical interfaces, and module-level test.
Experience interpreting production test data, optical performance data, failure analysis results, reliability data, and process capability metrics.
