Lead Process Development Engineer, Assembly

Description

We are seeking a Lead Process Development Engineer to drive the development and implementation of advanced assembly manufacturing processes tooling and test fixtures with a focus on optics and optical systems. The ideal candidate will have experience with infrared (IR) optical systems and a strong understanding of fabrication processes for IR optics.

Primary Duties & Responsibilities

• Process Development and Process Control : Under limited supervision leads development and implementation of new manufacturing processes tooling and test fixtures related to assembly of optics and optical systems. Strong skills are desired in the basic principles of optical fabrication assembly and test. Fabrication includes grinding pitch polishing pad polishing CNC generating CNC polishing Asphere polishing MRF CP operation edging and shaping of optical components. Assembly includes alignment using both mechanical means (fixtures physical measurement of edge location) and optical (alignment telescopes autocollimators computerized alignment stations). Test includes interferometric characterization of single and multiple surfaces MTF stray light focal length magnification and other important characteristics of optical materials components and processes developed are robust against product specifications and support quoted process variables are identified characterized and controlled sufficiently to consistently result in acceptable quality and cycle times. Process variables reduction is continuously engaged.
• Process Documentation : Responsible for building and maintaining manufacturing process documentation for use by production personnel in the performance of their jobs. Manufacturing Process documentation includes Work Order Release (WOR) packages including manufacturing Process Plans (Routers) and Bills of Materials (BOMs) and RCN ECO and NOR change order documentation. The WOR packages must delineate the required steps in sufficient detail to successfully fabricate coat assemble and test COHERENT A&D products as defined by customer and COHERENT A&D addition Process Development Engineering is responsible for maintaining and updating support documentation including Standard Manufacturing Procedures (SMPs) inspections manufacturing drawings and special processes.
