Key Responsibilities:

This role requires an ability to work in with R&D, new product introduction (NPI), and manufacturing teams to develop, improve and maintain opical assembly processes for highly integrated optical module. Enthusiastic to work in a fast-paced environment taking new concept designs through prototyping and introducing into production, developing leading edge optoelectronic products. Key responsibilities consist of optical assembly process development to achieve target cycle time and yield. The main focus may consist of:

• Engage with cross-functional product development teams to product design engineers, equipment design engineers, manufacturing, and external vendors to understand the product design and characteristics and develop robust assembly processes for highly integrated optical components.
• Develop optical assembly process including visual inspection, mechanical assembly, hermetic and non-hermetic sealing, large area bonding process, surface treatment optimization and so on.
• Develop optical assembly process using PDCA approach with process data analysis to improve process and product performance with manual and automatic tools.
• Author and execute process validation activities to ensure sustainable production speed and product quality. Design and conduct DOE using optomechanical principles, theories, and concepts to develop optical active alignment process to improve product performance.
• Perform process capability and product performance summary in weekly basis, and present to cross-functional product development teams.
• Support an environment conducive to effective cross-team interaction and self-initiates applicable information sharing.
• Demonstrate trouble shooting and problem-solving ability in manufacturing processes.
• Support product development teams as requested including required standard documents preparation for Design and business reviews such as PFMEA, Cycle time, Failure analysis etc. Provide technical work instructions, standard works, visual aids, and training to NPI team members.
• Able travel and work at other Lumentum sites (local and abroad).
