Our Optical Communications segment has recently evolved from being a manufacturer of optical fiber and cable, hardware and equipment to being a comprehensive provider of industry-leading optical solutions across the broader communications industry.This segment is classified into two main product groupings – carrier network and enterprise network. The carrier network product group consists primarily of products and solutions for optical-based communications infrastructure for services such as video, data and voice communications. The enterprise network product group consists primarily of optical-based communication networks sold to businesses, governments and individuals for their own use.

Role Purpose

            Work for process development and readiness for the SCS Receiving Team across optical cable and mechanical components assembly and future assigned processes. 

•           Work with project teams to take over complete process understanding, technical documentation, process controls, and operating knowledge. 

•           Work process qualification, stabilization, capability improvement, and transition from pilot production to stable manufacturing. 

•           Work for coupling process flow, critical parameters, operating windows, materials, product requirements, and key technical risks. 

•           Work with cross function team to understand product requirements and process requirements, for example, cycle time, process requirement for each station, process qualification requirements and define process development to fulfill critical customer requirement.

•           Work with cross function team for continuous improvement in safety, quality, delivery, cost, yield, throughput, and cycle time. 

•           Ensure technical learning and intellectual property developed through projects are documented and managed according to company requirements.

  • Working with project teams to take over optical cable assembly and other mechanical components processes, including process flow, product requirements, critical parameters, operating windows, risks, and control methods. 
  • Participate in product and process readiness reviews, engineering trials, FAT/SAT activities, equipment qualification, process certification, and production-release decisions. 
  • Be responsible for process readiness for pilot and mass production and ensure safety, quality, delivery, cost, capacity, and manufacturability requirements are addressed. 
  • Establish and maintain process specifications, SOPs, work instructions, setup standards, troubleshooting guides, process control plans, and engineering records. 
  • Working with cross function team and oversea team for process development, DOE, data analysis, parameter optimization, material evaluation, and technical issue closure for optical cable assembly and future products. 
  • Develop process capability and control strategies, including critical process parameters, SPC where appropriate, reaction plans, change control, and performance monitoring. 
  • Continuously monitor process performance and provide early warning of deviations from approved standards. 
  • Be responsible for process development activities like troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, corrective actions, and effectiveness verification for process, yield, quality, material, and productivity issues. 
  • Identify, evaluate, implement, and document process, material, and equipment changes through the approved engineering change process. 
  • Support ECN screening and ensure manufacturing processes remain aligned with released drawings, BOMs, specifications, and documented standards. 
  • Create and maintain required manufacturing documentation, including BOMs, routings, drawings, specifications, and process records for assigned products. 

 

Experiences/Education - Required

•    Bachelor's degree or above in Mechanical, Electrical, Automation, or a related technical field.
