Job Description
Senior Electo-optics Packaging Engineer will spearhead mechanical development of next generation integrated optics modules, specialized in designing high-performance, EO modules in a compact form factor. This position requires experience with broad design, analysis, and simulation of optoelectronics, materials, IC assembly, and packaging of integrated optical assemblies. The candidate will apply customer form-factor and environmental constraints to guide the design of optical and electrical hardware, realizing micro-radian alignment stabilities in dynamic temperature, shock, and vibration environments. The candidate will be responsible for designing and verifying optical-mechanical structures, thermal integrity and durability, and perform optical/thermal/package structural design, analysis, simulation, and verification. Must be able to work independently to model components and assemblies using CAE/CAD tools; FEA structural analysis, including linear, nonlinear and dynamic studies using software; Familiar with high thermal conductivity materials, thermal analysis, and coupled-physics involving thermal–structural, thermal-mechanical stress and thermo-electric analysis; Hands-on experience in with SolidWorks, ANSYS, and COMSOL.
Perform thermal/mechanical/optical analysis using ANSYS and other FEA design/simulation tools. 3D packaging design experience is preferred.
Requirements
To qualify for consideration, candidates must have the following skills to qualify
- 10 years direct experience in development of optical and IC packaging and assembly processes.
- Experienced with optical bench design
- Experience with engineering tools for fiber alignment, with wire bonding, flip-chip bonding and fiber packaging
- Knowledge and practical experience in characterization of semiconductor lasers and photodiodes
- Strong academic background and knowledge of microelectronics, optoelectronics packaging design and assembly, and experienced with low outgassing adhesives
- Knowledgeable in packaging technologies and processes, familiar with glass/ceramic/metal material properties and multilayer materials interfaces after bonding, flip-chip/BGA/PCBA/Flex design reliability and processing.
- Experience in 3D opto or IC packaging design and process
- Practical experience with SolidWorks and FEA simulation tools (e.g., ANSYS)
- Knowledgeable in materials property and process, yield analysis and enhancement, failure mode and analysis, quality tools, such as DOE, SPC, and Six-Sigma process and analysis; Familiar with Industry Test Standards, such as JEDEC, EIA, Telcordia, Mil-Std, etc.
Education
BS degree in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering, Physics, Applied Physics, or equivalent, MS or PhD preferred.
