Key stakeholder in design-for-manufacturing, process development, and assembly tolerance analysis. This work directly impacts the design, cost and quality of new, technically complex opto-electronics modules.","responsibilities":"Develop new and or improved processes through the application of theoretical and practical engineering

Keeps abreast of all meaningful technical trends and developments and incorporates them in appropriate assignments

Provide direction and mentorship to third party machine/automation suppliers and/or CM's; be the technical leader and driver on owned projects; serve as a technical resource to other engineering groups and project leaders

Organize cross-functional reviews of the machine requirements, design, qualification and capability

Create Request for Quotation/Proposal (RFQ/RFPs) that documents the design requirements of the automated equipment, delivery schedule, required documentation and qualification for acceptance at machine supplier facility and contract manufacturer's factory

Engage machine suppliers for automated equipment design reviews and proposals

Travel to the machine supplier and contract manufacturer for equipment bring-up, qualification, acceptance testing and support during build events

Drive machine qualification including correlation, process capability (CP/CPK) and Gage Repeatability / Reproducibility (GR&R)

Drive failure analysis and machine issue resolution when working with machine suppliers and contract manufacturers

Run equipment experiments to bound the capability of the machine

Responsible for data analysis reports to communicate machine capability to the multi- functional teams
