About The Position

At MicroVision, the Process Engineer will help bring LiDAR and electro-optical sensing products from concept through volume production. The role leads development, validation, and release of assembly processes for optical, opto-mechanical, and microelectronic components used in LiDAR sensors. It calls for strong technical expertise, structured problem-solving, and collaboration across Product Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain, and Manufacturing.

As part of the Process Engineering team, this position develops and optimizes manufacturing processes for optical assemblies and subassemblies, supporting the process lifecycle from initial design and qualification through production release and continuous improvement. The engineer also partners with Product Engineering to ensure designs meet Design for Manufacturing and Design for Assembly objectives, and leads capacity expansion and production scaling initiatives.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Optics/Opto-mechanics, Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• At least 5 years of experience developing, qualifying, and supporting production assembly processes for optical, opto-mechanical, microelectronic, or precision electromechanical products.
• Experience taking products from development through production launch and volume manufacturing.
• Strong problem-solving skills and experience using structured engineering methodologies.

Nice To Haves

• Experience in automotive manufacturing and standards such as IATF 16949, APQP, and PPAP.
• Proficiency with imaging and machine vision systems, including cameras, lenses, and lighting.
• Experience with or training in Lean and/or Six Sigma methodologies.
• Demonstrated ownership of PFMEA creation and execution.
• Proven track record of setting up new product lines and ramping them to volume production.

Responsibilities

• Lead assembly process development for products containing optical, opto-mechanical, and microelectronic components from concept through production release.
• Develop, validate, and improve manufacturing processes to increase yield, reduce cycle time, and enhance product quality.
• Analyze and optimize electronic and microelectronic assembly processes to improve performance and manufacturability.
• Develop and refine optical setup and alignment methods to improve precision, repeatability, and process capability.
• Lead process planning and qualification, including PFDs, block diagrams, PFMEAs, capacity and feasibility studies, specifications, and RFQs.
• Evaluate, specify, procure, and qualify production equipment, tooling, and fixtures, including vendor selection and qualification.
• Participate in design reviews and lead manufacturing equipment acceptance and buy-off activities.
• Provide technical support, troubleshooting, and process improvement guidance for production operations.
• Create and maintain BOMs, manufacturing routings, work instructions, and operator training materials.
• Drive continuous improvement using statistical and analytical methods such as SPC, DOE, and Gauge R&R, as well as Lean and Six Sigma principles.
• Partner with Product Engineering to ensure designs support Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) objectives.
• Lead capacity expansion and production scaling initiatives through process and equipment improvements.

Benefits

• Competitive pay.
• Benefits package designed to support employees and their families.
