About The Position
It's fun to work in a company where people truly BELIEVE in what they're doing! We're committed to bringing passion and customer focus to the business. If you like wild growth and working with happy, enthusiastic over-achievers, you'll enjoy your career with us! Key responsibilities Design and simulation of optical components (e.g. lenses, diffusers, diffractive/holographic optical elements, lensed fiber, etc.) and opto-mechanical systems for beam-conditioning of free-space and fiber-coupled semiconductor lasers Design Verification Testing (DVT), characterization of high-power single & multi-mode laser diodes for telecom, industrial, and consumer markets (e.g., spectral locking, noise, coherence collapse, Stimulated Brillion Scattering, fiber/volume Bragg gratings, high-speed characterization, the field of view) Cost-effective tolerancing of low-cost, manufacturable optical components for high-volume consumer applications Define performance specification limits for high-power single-mode and multi-mode laser diodes (e.g., LIV, WPE, spectral) Work with electrical/mechanical engineering and assembly/packaging staff on the design, development, and packaging of photonic optical systems Support development implementation of test equipment in R&D environment needed to perform DVT characterization tests, including software/hardware integration Document and present characterization results Minimum Qualifications Qualified candidates will be enrolled in a PhD or Master’s degree program in semiconductor, electrical, optical, physical engineering or a related major. Desired Qualifications Strong foundation in physics (e.g. lasers), optical sciences (e.g. coherence, speckle, diffraction, imaging) and/or electrical engineering (e.g. electricity & magnetism) Hands-on experience or equivalent skill level in optical component/system design for photonic and/or fiber-coupled systems and spectral/performance characterization of laser devices in Telecom and/or other applications Strong analytic and data analysis/mining skills via Excel, Minitab and/or JMP Familiarity in LabView is desirable, but not required Experienced in development and implementation of test setups for R&D environment Communicates/contributes effectively in cross-functional teams (esp. with manufacturing) Experience in DOE, SPC, DFX, GR&R and GR-468-CORE qualification MS degree or above preferred in semiconductor, electrical, optical or physical engineering Pay Range: $27.75 - 54.30/hour USD Pay Range: Disclaimer: Final base salary for the successful candidate will depend on multiple factors, including but not limited to, job location, where work will be performed, qualifications, work history and relevant experience. With our continual goal of making Lumentum a best place to work for our employees, we strive to offer employees competitive total compensation packages, which may include annual bonus, commission for certain sales roles, equity, and health and welfare benefits.
