Job Description:
Spectra-Physics, Ophir, Newport and ESI are brands within the
MKS Instruments Photonics Solutions division. We provide a full
range of solutions including lasers for precision industrial and
scientific research applications, laser and LED measurement, beam
profiling, precision motion control, optical tables and vibration
isolation systems, photonics instruments, temperature sensing,
opto-mechanical components, optical elements, and systems for
flexible PCB laser processing, high-speed MLCC testing, and
CO2-laser-based systems HDI PCB and IC substrate manufacturing. MKS
Photonics Solutions enhance our customers' capabilities and
productivity in the semiconductor, advanced electronics and
specialty industrial markets.We are looking for an exceptional
Senior Manufacturing Engineer: Opto-Mechanical Metrology to provide
overall metrology engineering leadership and support to optical
system fabrication. In this role you will provide independent
review of the whole product development process (PDP), steer
improvement efforts and drive process development and improvements.
In addition, an important aspect of your role will be to interact
with technical teams to provide sound technical support.What you
will do is:
- Responsible to define complex opto-mechanical metrology budgets
based on the attributes to be tested and the capability of the test
equipment being designed or utilized.
- Define, design, and develop the metrology solutions to reach
the optical performances with good yields and accuracy when
operated by regularly skilled technicians.
- Document the metrology processes and train the manufacturing
engineers and technicians on using the solutions.
- Document and train the manufacturing engineers in setting up
and duplicating/troubleshooting the metrology solutions that will
often include optical, mechanical, and electrical components and
sub-systems.
- Work closely with the design and manufacturing engineering
teams during the Product Development Process (PDP) from concept,
design to production phases in providing input for
manufacturability (DfX) and pFMEA, focusing on the metrology
aspects.
- Implement automated data collection plans and SPC to reduce
defects.
- Effectively communicate and identify issues during engineering
builds and propose metrology solutions to improve product
manufacturing, yields, and quality.
- Diagnose and debug issues in existing manufacturing processes
or equipment with corrective actions implemented in a timely
manner.What you bring, along with your curiosity:
- A great attitude: willing to learn, work independently and in a
team, provide technical leadership while understanding constraints
from different parts of the organization such as timelines or
manufacturability.

- 5 years of project management experience
- Strong communication skills to communicate clearly and
efficiently across a range of technical subject areas with a broad
slate of partners, including management, peers, and suppliers.
- Proven experience in development and high-volume deployment of
opto-mechanical modules.
- Experience in optical instrumentation and data collection &
automation, familiar with tools like Matlab, Python, C, VB or
LabVIEW or equivalent.
- Strong optical simulation experience and system modeling
experience, familiar with ray tracing tools such as Zemax, CodeV
etc. and perform optical simulation and experimental lab
validation. Alternatively, can accept solid experience with
analysis using Matlab, MathCad, Excel, etc... using beam
propagation formulas instead of Zemax.
- Strong quantitative data analysis abilities, using JMP, Matlab,
or equivalent tools and familiar with relevant algorithm for image
analysis and data analysis.
- Experience in high volume manufacturing, familiar with 6 sigma,
P/T, design of experiment, failure analysis, risk management and
system trade off study.
- Strong capability in design, setup and execution of
sophisticated optical systems.
