• Designing and executing equipment validation test in a manufacturing plant; analyzing data, drawing conclusions, and making recommendations
• Collaborating with other equipment/machine design experts within and outside of OFC development organization
• Securing funding via appropriation requests and expense budgeting processes to support equipment design and development
• Communicating and documenting results and equipment designs

Experience:

• 5-10 years work experience preferred
• Desired knowledge / experience with optical fiber process development or manufacturing

Skillsets:

• Machine/Equipment Design
• Heat Transfer
• 3D CAD
• AutoDesk Inventor
• Fluid Mechanics

Education:

• B.S. degree in mechanical engineering or similar technical field (e.g. physics); M.S. degree in similar discipline strongly encouraged

Required Skills:

• Working knowledge of physical phenomena (static and dynamic physics, heat and mass transfer, fluid mechanics, optics, etc.) with a strong background in machine design or machine systems integration
• The ability to work with other engineering disciplines (Electrical/Controls, Chemical/Materials) to create prototype and industrial process equipment design solutions
• Sound understanding of material properties and capabilities for use in machine design
• Knowledge/experience in materials processing equipment for manufacturing
• Ability to design and carry out experiments in lab and manufacturing environments
