About the job

Responsibilities

• Design internal and external components and modules, integrating optical modules and sensors into form factor enclosures with tight tolerances, from prototype to production.
• Create and review technical drawings and procurement documents for all components and assemblies.
• Develop design configurations of custom components such that manufacturing, inventory and order flow processes are optimized.
• Establish component/module evaluation plans (First Article Inspection (FAI) inspection and verification) for functional performance and reliability including Design of Experiments (DOE) to isolate critical parameters for developing analysis.
• Oversee supplier/partners of final device/product, subsystems and/or individual part design from concept to production.
