Responsibilities
What you'll own
- Stage, clean, and assemble polymer and hybrid optical subassemblies per the documented build sheet and torque specs.
- Perform first-article and in-process checks against the optical acceptance criteria for the program — wavefront, decenter, tilt, and cosmetic spec.
- Log lot, cavity, and coating-run traceability for every component used in a build; flag mix-ups before they leave the cell.
- Coordinate with metrology on assemblies that hit borderline acceptance to keep release evidence clean.
- Identify recurring assembly defects and feed them back to molding and coating ownership before they become field findings.
Requirements
What we're looking for
- Two or more years of hands-on optical, optomechanical, or precision-electromechanical assembly experience.
- Comfortable working in a controlled-environment cell with gloves, finger cots, and lint controls.
- Steady hands; corrected near vision; ability to read assembly drawings and call out tolerances.
- Willingness to follow documented work instructions exactly and to suggest revisions through change control, not informally.
Nice to have
Useful, not required
- Prior experience with adhesive bonding cure schedules for optical assemblies.
- Exposure to ISO 13485 or ISO 9001 build-record discipline.
More about the role
Context
About the role
Optical assemblies fail late when components are dimensionally correct but the build process introduces tilt, decenter, or contamination the optical spec cannot tolerate. This role owns the assembly bench: clean, methodical, traceable. You partner with metrology to keep release evidence credible and with molding and coating ownership when a defect points upstream.
Who you’ll work with
- The metrology lead, on assemblies that need borderline-case adjudication.
- Molding and coating cell leads, when a defect signature traces back to upstream process.
- The senior quality manager, on build-record discipline and CAPAs.
How to apply
Send a short note and resume to the address linked above. Tell us one optical or precision assembly defect you’ve seen, how you traced it to root cause, and what changed in the build process afterward.
