Duration: 12 months, possibility of extension Job Description: Product of Position (i.e. projects involved with and role within group): Mechanical Engineer responsible for leading or working within multi-discipline teams to Prototype and Pilot Equipment Design for optical fiber manufacturing processes and products. Design, develop, improve and industrialize Optical Fiber manufacturing platforms (platform = process + equipment) for existing or revolutionary manufacturing processes, thereby enabling new products with advantaged attributes and/or step-change reductions in manufacturing cost. Translate understanding and experimental solutions to engineering requirements, then further to process and/or equipment designs which deliver performance criteria. Work is typically completed as a member of a technology development team chartered with improving one or more of the following: manufacturing yields (selections), process rate, machine utilization, product quality, new product quality, environmental compliance, raw material yield, and/or energy usage. Major Responsibilities: Use established processes to identify concepts for manufacturing equipment, design, build and test selected concepts as an individual and in teams, and utilize risk management tools to ensure on-time delivery. Designing and executing equipment validation test in a manufacturing plant; analyzing data, drawing conclusions, and making recommendations Collaborating with other equipment/machine design experts within and outside of OFC development organization Securing funding via appropriation requests and expense budgeting processes to support equipment design and development Communicating and documenting results and equipment designs Travel Requirements (please note if international): <10%. Domestic only. Hours of work/work schedule/flex-time: Typical work hours are M-F 8am to 5pm. Some flexibility available upon request. Required Skills (These are skills that candidates MUST possess) Working knowledge of physical phenomena (static and dynamic physics, heat and mass transfer, fluid mechanics, optics, etc.) with a strong background in machine design or machine systems integration The ability to work with other engineering disciplines (Electrical/Controls, Chemical/Materials) to create prototype and industrial process equipment design solutions Sound understanding of material properties and capabilities for use in machine design Knowledge/experience in materials processing equipment for manufacturing Ability to design and carry out experiments in lab and manufacturing environments Familiarity with 3-D CAD software (AutoDesk Inventor preferred) Desired Skills (These are skills that would be nice for candidates to possess) Working knowledge experience of Machine Controls (motion control, sensor technologies, PLC programming, etc...) and safety systems. Ability to work on multiple projects simultaneously Knowledge of optical fiber properties, applications, and manufacturing Experience with data processing software (e.g. Jump, Python, PowerBI) and MS Office suite (Excel, Word, PowerPoint). Modeling simulation software optional (e.g. Aspen, Matlab, Fluent). Proficient in AutoDesk Inventor 3-D CAD Education and Experience (minimum required for consideration) B.S. degree in mechanical engineering or similar technical field (e.g. physics); M.S. degree in similar discipline strongly encouraged 5-10 years work experience preferred Desired knowledge / experience with optical fiber process development or manufacturing Soft Skills (Communication/Team/Leadership) Strong independent work ethic Attention to detail with excellent organizational skill Excellent communication skills (both verbal and written)
