Manufacturing NPI Engineer (Electromechanical)

Anello Photonics•Santa Clara, CA

About The Position

ANELLO Photonics http://www.anellophotonics.com is a leading-edge technology company based in Santa Clara, CA. The company has developed integrated photonic system-on-chip technology for next generation navigation. ANELLO's SIPHOG™ gyroscope is based on its patented photonic integrated circuit technology. The result is a product that is higher performance, much smaller size and weight, at a fraction of the cost of traditional gyros used in industrial, aerospace and military applications. It enables reliable and accurate navigation and positioning in GPS-Denied environments across autonomous applications for Land, Air and Sea. ANELLO has a growing list of customers and revenue through design wins in commercial and defense. We're engaged in testing trials with various market-leading customers in the Construction, Farming, Trucking, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, Autonomous Vehicles, and National Security segments.
