Senior Laser Manufacturing Engineer

Principal Responsibilities:1. Failure Analysis & Root Cause InvestigationPerform detailed failure analysis investigations on fiber laser units and subsystems, including:Optical components (fiber, collimators, isolators, lenses)Laser diodes and pump modulesPower electronics and control boardsApply structured root cause analysis methodologies (e.g., 5 Why, Fishbone, Fault Tree Analysis, DMAIC).Conduct electrical, optical, mechanical, and thermal diagnostics to identify failure mechanisms.Validate failure hypotheses through experimentation, testing, and data analysis.2. Reporting & DocumentationPrepare clear, structured technical reports documenting:Failure symptomsInvestigation methodsRoot causesCorrective and preventive actions (CAPA)Present investigation findings and recommendations to engineering, quality, production, and management teams.Maintain comprehensive failure databases and trend analysis dashboards.3.

Corrective Actions & ImplementationPropose engineering solutions to resolve identified issues.Work with design, process, manufacturing, and supplier teams to implement corrective actions.Validate effectiveness of solutions through testing, verification, and reliability evaluation.Drive continuous product reliability improvement initiatives.4. Failure Analysis Lab & Equipment ManagementMaintain the failure analysis station, ensuring:Equipment calibration and traceabilityProper tooling availabilitySafe operation of optical and electrical systemsDevelop and improve test procedures, diagnostic tools, and fixtures.Ensure compliance with laser safety, electrical safety, and ESD standards.5. RMA & Customer SupportProvide technical support for RMA investigation and closure.Interface with customer service, sales, and field service teams to:Clarify failure symptomsExpedite root cause identificationProvide technical feedback to customers when requiredSupport urgent investigations for critical customer escalations.
