Job Overview
The Aerospace, Defense & Marine business unit is facing increasing demand for ruggedized fiber optic interconnects and innovative fiber management solutions. Included in these new developments are active optical transceivers, media converters, and optical cable assemblies where the E/O and O/E conversions are accomplished within the cable connector(s) and similar chip-to-world products. Currently systems are operating at 1-10 Gb/s, and some customers are planning for a migration to 25 Gb/s or higher. The race is now on for the development of ruggedized AOC interfaces, transceivers, and mid-board modules for applications in harsh environments.
In this position, the Product / Electrical Engineer will contribute to product development engineering for those projects. The Engineer will be responsible for the electrical aspects of design, development, and testing of new electronic products. This will include engineering analysis of designs, coordination of sample builds, oversight of verification/qualification testing and migration to volume manufacturing sites. The position will require direct communication with external customers and suppliers, as well as interaction with internal business development, corporate technology, manufacturing, quality, and testing functions. Some domestic and/or international travel may be required.
The Product / Electrical Engineer's responsibilities may include:
Electrical circuit & PCB design and electronic component selection
Generation and evaluation of prototypes
Definition and coordination of test programs for purposes of design verification and product qualification
Generation of product drawings, application specifications, and instruction sheets
