About the role
As a Senior Process Integration Engineer, you will develop and optimize optical assembly and integration processes across photonic design, packaging, manufacturing, and reliability engineering. Your work focuses on scaling optical switching technologies from prototype to high-volume manufacturing.
What you'll do
- Develop and optimize Active Alignment, Fiber Attach/Fiber Coupling, and FAU assembly processes for optical engine manufacturing.
- Lead the transfer of optical assembly processes from R&D to production, ensuring stable, scalable, and high-yield manufacturing flows.
- Work closely with OSATs and manufacturing partners to qualify processes, troubleshoot issues, and support volume ramp activities.
- Perform yield analysis and implement continuous improvement initiatives using SPC, Cp/Cpk, RCA, FMEA, FA, and 8D methodologies.
- Define manufacturability guidelines, control plans, documentation, and reliability processes to support product integration.
What you'll need
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Optoelectronics, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
- 5+ years of hands-on experience in optical active alignment, fiber attach/fiber coupling, FAU assembly, or optical module manufacturing.
- Proven experience transferring complex optical products from development into scalable manufacturing environments.
- Strong knowledge of optical alignment systems, precision motion control, machine vision, and optical metrology.
- Experience with yield analysis, statistical process control, reliability methodologies, and process optimization techniques.
- Background in BOM management, supplier qualification, component specification management, and manufacturing readiness programs, as well as experience working with OSATs and foundries.

How we counted: 1150 open Hardware Systems Engineering (AI ML Hardware) roles from 109 employers tracked in the SemiconductorJobs index, counted 11 Nov 2026. Specialty figures count only roles carrying this exact specialty label, so an employer's related work in neighbouring specialties is not included there, and is counted in the wider Software, Firmware & Systems family row. Days are counted from when our index first saw each posting, not from the employer's original posting date.
