Process Engineering position in our Crystal Fabrication Department, which produces a wide range of acousto-optic devices using processes for Slicing, Grinding and Polishing of crystalline materials (Tellurium Dioxide, Lithium Niobate/Tantalate, Quartz). The candidate's chief responsibility is to trouble-shoot and fix yield and throughput issues on the Shop Floor, regardless of whether the root cause is a faulty process/drawing/work-instruction, insufficient personnel training, or bad equipment or measurement. The candidate will work closely with Production, Engineering and Maintenance personnel to resolve these problems and help drive longer-term improvements. We are looking for a talented engineer to join our engineering team to improve optical component fabrication and develop the efficient fabrication processes to meet customer's demand.
Essential Functions:
- Monitor, control and improve yield and throughput of existing products.
- Troubleshoot issues with equipment and tooling that is impacting yield and throughput. Lead correction of such issues with Production and Maintenance personnel.
- Modify existing product travelers, work instructions and mechanical drawings to reflect required process changes.
-
Help the effective transfer of new product designs and processes into Production
- Assist Senior Engineering Staff to test, develop and plan new processes, materials and equipment for land-mark productivity and yield improvement
Minimum Education (or substitute experience) required: Bachelor's Degree in Engineering (Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Applied Science, Metallurgy is most suitable). We will consider non-degreed people with sufficient relevant practical experience.
- High degree of mechanical aptitude. Able to read and revise mechanical drawings and work instructions to adjust dimensions and tolerances to control perpendicularity, parallelism, flatness, roughness, angles, etc.
- Excellent skills in trouble shooting process control problems; good system diagnostics skills
- Hands-on experience trouble shooting issues with both process and measurement equipment.
- Good written and verbal communication skills in English
- Excellent inter-personal skills; gets along well with diverse work force
