· Work with precision optical and opto-electronic test & measurement equipment (alignment lasers, photodetectors, wavefront sensors, fibre-optics).
· Training and collaboration with production personnel to continue improving on existing manufacturing and testing processes.
· Calibration and validation of production tools and equipment.
· Design and test mechanical / opto-mechanical jigs and toolings in collaboration with our mechanical engineers.
· Help in incoming inspection and testing of optical components.
· Create and maintain manufacturing process documents.
· Responsible for identifying problems and providing solutions for manufacturing issues.
Required:
· A degree in Engineering or Physics.
· Solid understanding of basic optics (geometric optics, wave optics, fibre optics).
· Very good mechanical hands-on skills, comfortable with using a wide range of tools and equipment.
· A passion for precision and quality in manufacturing.
· Strong attention to detail.
· Has good communication skills; can collaborate effectively with team members as well as train and supervise production technicians.
Desirable items, highly regarded:
· Prior experience in a high-technology manufacturing environment, preferably in an optics-related industry.
· Experience with mechanical CAD (e.g. Solidworks).
· Advanced knowledge of optics (e.g. OCT, lasers, imaging systems, optical design with ZEMAX).
· Basic programming experience (e.g. LabView, Matlab, scripting languages).
· Familiarity with industrial automation hardware and software.
If you would like to apply, please forward an up to date copy of your resume with a covering letter highlighting the experience you consider relevant to the role. Please also include a clear indication of your availability to attend for interview and to start work.
Applicants must be Australian citizens or permanent residents of Australia.
