Senior Packaging Engineer

Role Description

We are looking to add on our team an experienced Senior Packaging Engineer who can lead and provide technical expertise for the design and implementation of novel optical MEMS packaging technologies for high-volume manufacturing. Candidates will be expected to offer creative insights for R&D problems, characterize and define package, and help execute manufacturing and prototyping of designs with suppliers. Experience in optical MEMS devices is required.

Responsibilities

• Design and implementation of MEMS packaging technology for high-volume manufacturing
• Development of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) models for simulating and predicting sensor behavior due to package influences
• Create, conduct, & analyze Design of Experiments (DOE) for development activities.
• Support process integration, yield improvement, design for manufacturability, & design for reliability.
• Actively interface with key US and international suppliers with the goal of developing & improving upon existing package solutions to volume production
• Manage material logistics for experimental needs

Qualifications & Requirements
