- Driving early engagement for design-for-manufacturing and design-for-cost on fiber alignment processes.

- Developing and refining fiber alignment manufacturing processes for scale.

- Identifying and qualifying fiber alignment equipment for Cisco products.

- Supporting transfer from NPI to production.

The minimum qualifications for this role are:

- 7+ years' experience in process, equipment, and/or test engineering in optics, opto-electronics, or semiconductor packaging.

- BS in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Optics/Photonics, Mechanical Engineering, Materials, or a related field.

- Demonstrated experience defining, specifying, evaluating, or qualifying fiber alignment or fiber attach capital equipment.

- Strong technical communication, problem-solving, and multi-functional execution skills.

Preferred skills include:

- Master's degree or equivalent experience in a relevant field.

- Experience with fiber attach, optical alignment systems, or automated optical assembly process development and qualification.

- Exposure to next-generation optics manufacturing concepts.

- Background in optics and optical components.

At Cisco, you will have the opportunity to work with a global network of doers and experts, and make a meaningful impact on a large scale.
