• Bachelor’s Degree in Electronics, Electrical, Mechatronics Engineering, or equivalent.
• Minimum 2 years of experience in developing or supporting testers in the optical or opto-electronics industry.
• Proficient in general electrical layout and installation; ability to design basic electrical schematics and generate single-line diagrams.
• Experienced in the installation and use of motion control and photonic test equipment (e.g., light sources, detectors) and standard test tools such as multimeters, oscilloscopes, and data loggers.
• Strong knowledge of LabVIEW programming and interfacing with various hardware components (e.g., cameras, motors).
• Familiarity with standard LabVIEW design patterns (e.g., state machine, queued message handler) and at least one additional programming language.
• Basic knowledge of mechanical layout and installation; ability to design basic frames and mounting structures to integrate optical tables and motion stages, and collaborate with vendors for assembly.
• Strong analytical skills for troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, and problem-solving.
• Proficient in data collection, statistical analysis, and report generation; experience applying Six Sigma principles preferred.
• Strong commitment to safety and environmental standards, customer-focused with a fast response mindset, collaborative team player, and high integrity with strong dedication.
