How will you make an impact?-

Jabil is seeking a Lead Photonics System Engineer focused on enabling design and manufacturing services for cutting edge Co-Packaged-Optics (CPO) systems, which present new challenges with the integration density of photonic elements at the box and rack level at the EMS environment. This position will engage with leading edge technology companies, transforming photonics as an industry, while contributing to the rapid transformative growth within the Intelligent Infrastructure business unit.

Lead photonics systems engineers in this team have responsibility for a diverse array of functions, all rooted on their deep technical understanding of photonic communication links, components, and wireline systems. The job scope includes establishing product engineering expertise for photonic systems both in the central engineering organization as well as the manufacturing sites, early client engagement to understand the requirements and potential manufacturing yield risks, designing test and debug strategy, and providing optical system design services as part of Jabil’s design services capabilities.

What will you do? -  

  • Provide product subject matter expertise to support manufacturing line bringup and NPI activities for CPO systems in Jabil’s factories, in particular focusing on process design, yield analysis, and root-causing of failure modes to drive yield improvement.

  • Develop test strategy, quality control gates, and rework flows with the test engineering and industrial engineering teams to establish process control, early fault detection, and effective rework flows.

  • Define yield, throughput, and parametric-data dashboards (as well as automated data analysis) for implementation with the work cell and data engineering teams to allow SPC implementation and drive systematic yield improvement processes.

  • Participate in client interactions to funnel in specs, requirements required for system CPO system design.

  • Support product design phase with DFM and FMEA guidance.

  • Train and provide technical guidance to factory product engineers through manufacturing NPI and volume ramp phases.

  • Maintain an ongoing engagement with the factory operations and engineering teams to continuously drive process and yield improvements, provide engineering support as required for tackling manufacturing issues.

  • Keep abreast of new technologies pertaining to the co-packaged-optics systems with a focus on photonics packaging, fiber-optic connectivity, test and metrology methods and equipment.

  • Evaluate and qualify new offerings in area of fiber-optic connectivity (such as blind-mate connectors, shuffle cables, various supporting tooling) to support design activities as well as tool adoption on factory floor.

  • Keep abreast of new technologies pertaining to the co-packaged-optics systems with a focus on photonics packaging, fiber-optic connectivity, test and metrology methods and equipment.

  • Perform other duties and responsibilities as required.

How will you get here? – 

Education: 

  • Relevant 4-year Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics or a similar field is required

Experience: 

  • 6+ years of photonics communication system (optical engine / transceiver / switch box / networking rack) development or product engineering in the datacom / telecom industry is required

Knowledge, Skills, Abilities:  

  • Possesses deep expertise in optical communication links, associated component / module specs and test methods in R&D and manufacturing for defect detection.

  • Capable of hands-on setting up of DC/RF electro-optical testbenches, including basic test automation coding in Python or similar.

  • Highly detail oriented, highly organized & methodical thinker.

  • Able to tackle engineering challenges and devise structured R&D programs for process development.

  • Independent, action-oriented, entrepreneurial, and with high sense of product ownership.

  • Able to travel up to 70% both domestically and internationally

Preferred Qualifications:  

  • Advantage to experience working with manufacturing partners / in-house manufacturing of optical communication systems

  • Advantage to product-engineering experience in NPI and volume manufacturing ramp phases of optical communication components / modules / systems.

  • Strong preference to advanced degrees in electrical engineering or applied physics
