Job description

We are seeking a highly skilled and driven Optics Manufacturing Engineer to join our team in Broomfield, CO. This role focuses on developing and scaling manufacturing processes for advanced laser and beam delivery systems, ensuring high optical performance, alignment stability, and manufacturability. You will work cross-functionally with optical, mechanical, and systems engineers to transition complex photonics hardware from development into production while solving challenging precision engineering problems with creativity and rigor.
All applicants for placement in safety-sensitive positions will be required to submit to a pre-employment drug test.
Key Responsibilities:
  • Serve as the manufacturing engineering interface between scientists, optical/laser design engineers, supply chain, and technicians to develop robust, scalable manufacturing processes for laser and beam delivery subsystems.
  • Establish manufacturing requirements and partner with supply chain to identify, qualify, and manage vendors for precision optics, coatings, and photonics components.
  • Lead troubleshooting of manufacturing and integration issues, including root cause and corrective action analysis with a focus on optical alignment, contamination control, and system stability.
  • Develop, maintain, and improve work instructions, production documentation, inspection plans, and operator training materials specific to optical handling and laser safety.
  • Design and optimize production layouts, clean workspaces, and assembly flows to support contamination-sensitive optical builds and scalable production.
  • Design and optimize production layouts, clean workspaces, and assembly flows to support contamination-sensitive optical builds and scalable production.
  • Review designs for cost, test, reliability, and manufacturability opportunities and lead producibility improvement projects.
  • Design and implement tooling, jigs, and fixtures to improve production quality, repeatability, and throughput
  • Support production ramp and technology transfer from R&D to manufacturing, including process validation, yield improvement, and cycle time reduction.
  • Research and evaluate new and existing processes, operations, and support systems for adaptation and/or improvements needed to manufacture the quantum computer.

YOU MUST HAVE:
  • Bachelor's degree minimum
  • Minimum 5+ years' experience in manufacturing engineering role supporting complex hardware systems (e.g., laser systems, aerospace, optics, cryogenic, photonics, electronics)
  • Minimum 3+ years CAD Experience, including the ability to develop solid models for tooling and fixtures.
  • Due to Contractual requirements, must be a U.S. Person defined as, U.S. citizen permanent resident or green card holder, workers granted asylum or refugee status

WE VALUE:
  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Optical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, Chemical Engineering or related field
  • Experience with laser systems, optical assemblies, or beamline/photonics systems
  • Familiarity with metrology tools and performance metrics
  • Hands-on approach to problem solving with a willingness to engage directly in development labs and production environments.
  • Experience in R&D or prototype-to-production transition environments
  • Working knowledge of GD&T and precision inspection techniques
  • Familiarity with lean manufacturing and Six Sigma principles.
  • Strong cross-functional collaboration and communication skills
  • Excellent organization and technical documentation skills
