Optical Manufacturing Test Engineer - Software Automation

Role Overview

As an Optical Manufacturing Test Engineer specializing in software automation, you will work on test automation and networking protocols. You will help validate complex systems at Layer 1 and Layer 2 using tools like Ixia and build Python based frameworks. This is a critical role in validating and ensuring the quality of Lumilens' photonic components, modules, and systems.

What You Will Do

Collaborate with design engineering and manufacturing teams to define and develop test software for high-volume manufacturing of high-end optical components. Perform functional, regression, and performance testing on Layer 1 and Layer 2 network systems. Develop, maintain, and execute automated test cases in Python.

Why It Might Be a Fit

You'll work closely with optical design, hardware, and manufacturing teams to perform design for manufacturing, calibration, characterization, and troubleshooting. You'll have the opportunity to make an outsized impact on the development of critical photonics infrastructure that powers tomorrow's AI supercomputing.
