The carrier network product group consists primarily of products and solutions for optical-based communications infrastructure for services such as video, data and voice communications. The enterprise network product group consists primarily of optical-based communication networks sold to businesses, governments and individuals for their own use.
Role Purpose
We are seeking an experienced Manufacturing Engineer to support product development with product qualification, reliability, and environmental testing of fiber optic and micro-optic components and assemblies. This role focuses on developing and executing test plans, collecting and analyzing data, and ensuring micro-optical products meet performance and reliability requirements prior to production and deployment. The ideal candidate is hands-on and looking to grow technical depth in optical qualification and reliability engineering.
Key Responsibilities

  • Experience in optics, micro-optics, opto-mechanical systems, or optical qualification/reliability testing
  • Hands-on experience with environmental/reliability test equipment (thermal chambers, humidity chambers, vibration/shock testing)
  • Experience with optical measurement tools - Insertion Loss (IL), Return Loss (RL), polarity, and interferometers
  • Experience with test automation or scripting (Python, LabVIEW)
  • Knowledge of accelerated life testing concepts

Key Competencies
  • Applies structured analytical thinking to identify failure modes and root causes from test data
  • Maintains high accuracy and repeatability in test setup, execution, and documentation
  • Follows established test procedures while identifying and contributing to process improvement opportunities
  • Works effectively in a hands-on lab environment and engages across design and manufacturing teams to drive shared outcomes
