Jobs at nEye Systems

Leads mechanical engineering for MEMS and silicon photonics optical switches, overseeing precision mechanical design, structural and thermal simulation, prototyping, manufacturing support, vendor management, first article inspections, and engineering change control. Builds and organizes the mechanical team, drives designs from concept through production, manages reliability and root-cause analysis, and collaborates cross-functionally to deliver robust telecom and data center products.

Responsible for architecting and managing nEye's supply chain, including vendor engagement, materials planning, logistics, and systems implementation for a hardware company.

Design and develop precision opto-mechanical components, packaging, modules, enclosures, thermal systems, and fiber-management solutions. Perform structural, thermal, and vibration FEA; create CAD models, drawings, tolerances, and assembly documentation. Build and validate prototypes, troubleshoot failures, collaborate with manufacturing vendors, support ECOs, and transition designs into production. The role requires multidisciplinary collaboration across photonics, electrical engineering, packaging, manufacturing, and operations.

Design and optimize silicon photonic components and integrated circuits for MEMS-based optical switches. Lead device design, fabrication methodology, simulation, layout, foundry tape-outs, and component/system-level testing. Develop characterization experiments and collaborate with systems and fabrication teams to improve optical switch performance. Serve as a senior technical contributor across functions and communicate findings through presentations and written reports.

Develop and improve MEMS and silicon photonics wafer fabrication processes for optical switches. Responsibilities include device and process design, wafer processing, process short loops, failure analysis, metrology, experimental protocols, and collaboration with vendors and foundries to scale processes from prototyping to production.

Lead development and transfer of advanced wafer bonding processes (fusion, eutectic, hybrid, direct) across product development to volume manufacturing. Own process integration, foundry collaboration, NPI readiness, yield improvement, failure analysis, and process characterization to ensure manufacturability, reliability, and cost targets are met.

The role involves developing software for optical test automation, managing data pipelines, collaborating across teams, and enhancing testing efficiency for silicon photonics.

The Electrical Hardware Engineer will develop and validate electronic systems for an optical switching platform, focusing on hardware bring-up, debugging, and integration with MEMS technology.
