Job Description

The R&D/ Product development engineer will be responsible to provide Design & Development Support on for the electrical aspects of design, development, and testing of new opto-electronic products using as RFoF (Radio Frequency Over Fiber) technology. The opto-electronic products to be developed are ruggedized fiber optic interconnects and innovative fiber management solutions which includes new developments of active optical transceivers, media converters, and optical cable assemblies (AOC's) operating at 1- 25 Gb/s or higher. The race is now on for the development of ruggedized AOC interfaces, transceivers, and mid-board modules for applications in harsh environments. This job function will include engineering analysis of designs, coordination of sample builds, oversight of verification/qualification testing and migration to volume manufacturing sites. The Engineer will work within NPD team that includes the other disciplines like ME, QE, IE, SW, test engineering and process development. The position will require direct communication with external customers and suppliers, as well as interaction with internal business development, corporate technology, manufacturing, quality, and testing functions. Some domestic and/or international travel may be required. The Engineer will work closely with Global and Local cross functional team to develop Products by translating a customer requirement into a Product requirement, work through the Development cycle including Testing, Approval and Release into Production.
