  • Must have experience fiber handling in a lab setting with known standards
Bonus points for:
  • 7+ years experience in fiber optics field applications
  • Experience in utilizing distributed sensing arrays
  • Experience with polyimide and a variety of coated fibers
  • At least 1 year experience in teaching and/or training fiber splicing techniques and cable assemblies
  • Experienced with designing, building, and testing fiber cable assemblies, particularly in cryogen and vacuum conditions
  • Experience performing fiber optic work in environments with limited space or requiring odd positions.
  • Skills:
    • Fiber coating removal
    • Fiber re-coating
    • Specialty fiber splicing
    • Fiber proof-testing
  • Measurement and analysis techniques with optical tools and equipment such as interrogators, optical multiplexers, optical switches, fault locators, OTDR, etc.
  • Knowledgeable about various optics sensing techniques and optical attenuation/insertion loss mechanisms
  • Basic Materials Science knowledge
  • Good communication skills
  • Good attention to detail
Must-have Requirements:
  • Ability to occasionally lift up to 50 lbs
  • Perform activities:
    • Stooping, typing, standing, or sitting for extended periods of time
