Hiring: Opto-Mechanical Engineer Company: TTM Technologies Location: Stafford Springs, CT Job Posted Time: 2026-09-03 14:22:17 Target Skills & Keywords : Angular, Assembly, PCB About the job Experience: •10 years of hands-on opto-mechanical engineering experience in precision manufacturing, photonics product development, or optical instrumentation. Required Skills: •Module-Scale Fixture Design: Design precision assembly fixtures and alignment tooling for millimeter - scale optical components-guide pin registration fixtures, fiducial-alignment systems, precision reference datums, retention assemblies, adhesive selection and adhesive dispensing fixtures. Apply kinematic constraint design principles. •Tolerance & Error Budgets: Perform worst case and RSS tolerance stack-up analysis - quantifying contributions from mechanical, optical and environmental causes. •Assembly Process Development: Develop and optimize passive alignment assembly processes for opto-mechanical sub-assemblies. Define adhesive cure parameters (dose, shrinkage control), press-fit forces, and retention preloads. Characterize process capacity (Cpk) for critical alignment dimensions. •Vendor Collaboration: Collaborate with precision optical component vendors on design-for-manufacturability, first article inspection, and ongoing process control. Review vendor dimensional and optical measurement data against specifications. •Alignment Characterization: Characterize lateral and angular misalignment distributions in assembled opto-mechanical sub-assemblies using far-field beam profiling, interferometry, or precision displacement measurement. Validate experimental results against analytical loss models. •Component Incoming Inspection: Develop incoming inspection protocols for precision optical components - mirror angle, reference surface geometry, guide pin hole position and diameter, lens surface form, and bore position accuracy. Define sampling plans and accept/reject criteria appropriate to downstream optical performance requirements. •Provide technical accuracy review of optical and mechanical specifications in engineering documentation, including patent-related technical disclosures. •Partner cross-functionally with process engineering on alignment station design, throughput modelling, and assembly process cost analysis. Qualifications: •B.S. in Optical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Applied Physics, or a closely related discipline with substantial optics and photonics coursework. •3–10 years of hands-on opto-mechanical engineering experience in precision manufacturing, photonics product development, or optical instrumentation.
