Jobbeschreibung
We are looking for a Process Engineer to support the development and optimization of optical coupling processes for advanced optical communication products. A key part of this role is working with automated alignment and assembly equipment (e.g., Ficontec platforms). Therefore, the ideal candidate brings not only process engineering expertise, but also a solid conceptual understanding of programming structured, multi-step automated process flows.
You will work on high-precision coupling steps connecting lasers, modulators, fibers, lenses, and other optical components, while collaborating closely with design, production, and quality teams.
* Develop, optimize, and maintain optical coupling processes for optical communication modules (fiber attach, active/passive alignment, lens/waveguide coupling, etc.).
* Design and refine automated process sequences on alignment equipment (e.g., Ficontec)
* Analyze process data, perform structured experiments, and improve yield, stability, and throughput.
* Support process qualifications, documentation, and smooth transfer into manufacturing.
* Troubleshoot alignment and assembly issues and implement corrective actions.
* Create and maintain technical drawings, process documentation, and work instructions.
* Provide hands-on support during pilot builds, production ramp-up, and continuous improvement activities.
Voraussetzungen
Qualifications
* Degree in Physics, Photonics, Electrical Engineering, Microsystems Engineering, Semiconductor Technology, or similar.
* Several years of experience in optoelectronics, photonics assembly, semiconductor processing, or precision optical assemblies.
* Good understanding of optical coupling and alignment principles.
* Conceptual programming/automation understanding (workflow logic, sequence control, multi-step processes)
* Basic skills in Python, LabVIEW, PLC, or similar languages/environments used for automation.
* Good English skills. German is a plus.
* Familiar with working in cross-functional teams.
