Job description

Molex possesses a rich heritage in the optical industry, delivering high-performance, field-proven optical solutions spanning components, modules, and fully integrated line cards. We provide cutting-edge wavelength management and amplifier technologies, supported by deep optical, mechanical, electrical, and software integration capabilities. These strengths enable Molex to serve the evolving needs of high-density, high-bandwidth, and flexible optical networks.
The Principal Mechanical Engineer will own mechanical designs of advanced optoelectronic packages (e.g., CPO, ELSFP). This role is responsible for all elements of mechanical design that relate to component design, manufacturability and long-term reliability. The position requires close collaboration with R&D and product design teams, manufacturing, suppliers, and customers to ensure laser components meet stringent optical, mechanical, and Telcordia reliability requirements.
What you will do:
  • Lead mechanical design and layout of laser diode packages and various subcomponents
  • Design and optimize optical subassemblies (laser, lens system, isolator/grating, fiber coupling) to achieve submicron alignment with high coupling efficiency and long-term stability
  • Develop package architectures integrating thermal electric coolers, submounts, hermetic housings, lids, getters, and fiber attach features
  • Ensure compatibility with active alignment processes, including fixture design, alignment tolerancing, and drift control during solder reflow or epoxy cure
  • Perform thermal and mechanical design analysis: FEA, thermal modeling and evaluate impact on wavelength shift
  • Design for high thermal power density and ensure adequate thermal margin
  • Design for hermetic sealing approaches meeting leak rate targets
  • Select and qualify materials and attachment methods
  • Partner with suppliers to evaluate component capability, process maturity, and long-term reliability risks
  • Drive design-for-manufacturability (DFM) to enable high-yield, scalable production

What You Will Have (Basic requirements):
  • Masters in Mechanical Engineering
  • At least 10+ years of industry R&D experience with mechanical design of fiber-coupled optoelectronic packages developed and transferred to manufacturing environments
  • Demonstrated experience with optical alignment of components to submicron tolerances, designing for high thermal power density
  • Proven ability to design for submicron stability over life
  • Mechanical design using Mech software package/s with finite element analysis (FEA)
  • Strong background in FEA modeling to calculate stress/design from CTE mismatch, optic misalignment, thermal limits, etc.)
  • Knowledgeable of various optical components (e.g., gratings, mirrors, lenses), stable attachment methods (e.g., epoxy and solder based)
  • Knowledgeable in component qualification methodologies
  • Experience with New Product Introduction (NPI) methodology: design, verification, qualification, release to manufacturing
  • Strong communication skills with suppliers, customers, and cross-functional internal teams

For this role, we anticipate paying $180,000 - $260,000 per year. This role is eligible for variable pay, issued as a monetary bonus or in another form.
