• Define, plan, and execute Lightspeed ADL projects from feasibility through transition to production.
• Develop, characterize, and optimize manufacturing processes including metal etching, metal plating, electropolishing, mechanical forming, dispensing, laser welding, vision inspection, and related operations.
• Establish, control, and document critical process parameters, understanding key variables that impact product performance and quality
• Design and execute experiments to evaluate process performance; analyze results using appropriate statistical methods and apply findings to improve process robustness.
• Review and interpret customer engineering prints, providing technical input to quoting activities and ensuring proposed processes meet customer and quality requirements.
• Participate in customer meetings and calls to address technical questions, communicate project status, and support issue resolution and recovery plans.
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to Application Development Technicians and Associate Application Development Engineers.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Production, Quality, Sales) to ensure smooth project handoffs, effective resource utilization, and timely execution.
• Participate in cross-site or advanced technology initiatives as requested.
• Occasional domestic travel may be required.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of engineering experience with focus in R&D working with customers.
• Ability to understand the operation of complex manufacturing equipment and define, adjust, and document equipment operating parameters to achieve required process and product performance.

• Experience generating job-related documentation for quality and manufacturing purposes.
• Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering, Science, or equivalent relevant experience.
• Strong communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work independently under general supervision and adapt to changing priorities.

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with both mechanical and chemical manufacturing processes, including metal forming, laser welding, adhesive dispensing, and chemical processes such as metal etching and plating.
• Experience designing experiments and analyzing data using statistical analysis methods (e.g., DOE, process capability, trend analysis).
• Prior experience supporting customer interactions, quoting, or technical reviews.

Physical Demands

• Standing and walking for short periods of time.
• Ability to use a microscope, including manipulating small object under a microscope.

Compensation
