Manufacturing Engineer (opto - mechanical) All Levels Hardware

Manufacturing Engineer (opto - mechanical) All Levels Own and optimize opto-mechanical manufacturing processes for space-grade optical assemblies Location: Redondo Beach, California, United States | Compensation: $120,000 - 165,000 USD / year | Job Tags: Hardware About The Role As an Opto-Mechanical Manufacturing Engineer at Impulse, you will work with cross-discipline teams to build opto-mechanical assemblies. You will own the build and testing of optical assembly production. Your expertise will directly impact the reliability and performance of the systems we send into orbit and beyond. Leveling will be commensurate with experience. Responsibilities Develop, document, and optimize manufacturing processes for opto-mechanical assemblies. Develop and optimize metrology processes for opto-mechanical assemblies in production. Design tooling for complex alignment of lens assemblies and drive assembly, integration, and test of camera sub-assemblies. Collaborate with optical design engineers to ensure manufacturability, DFM/DFA of optical assemblies, including custom spherical and aspherical lenses/mirrors. Collaborate with cross functional teams on quality and long-term reliability. Manage the optics manufacturing cleanroom, including sourcing equipment and setting processes and policies. Provide day-to-day support for the production floor, resolving build issues, updating work instructions, and improving yields. Provide guidance to opto-mechanical technicians. Support environmental and functional testing (optical, vibe, thermal, etc.) in production. Minimum Qualifications Bachelors' degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics or related field 5+ years of demonstrated manufacturing experience in high-precision opto-mechanical manufacturing 5+ years of optical metrology equipment experience, such as centration measurements, interferometry and wavefront sensors. Knowledge of optical alignment using a laser or collimated light source Experience with designing tooling for optical assembly Skilled at mechanical design and GD&T using NX and Teamcenter Knowledge of CNC Machining Preferred Skills and Experience MS/PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics or related field 6+ years of demonstrated manufacturing experience opto-mechanical manufacturing for space applications.
