With deep engineering expertise and leading design, emulation, and test solutions, our ~16,800 employees help customers in over 100 countries accelerate innovation across communications, automotive, energy, quantum, aerospace and defense, semiconductor, and artificial intelligence markets. Learn more about what we do.\nAt Keysight, people come together to explore new ideas, challenge what's possible, and advance the technologies defining the future. Here, you'll find opportunities to do your best work, take your career further, and thrive in an award-winningculture.Learn more about our benefits.\nResponsibilities\nAs a Optical Mechanical Manufacturing Engineer, you will be responsible for improving products, processes, and components to meet customer and system performance requirements. You will have the opportunity to directly work with production teams and introduce new technologies while transform state-of-art engineering designs into valuable and manufacturable products. You will make key contributions and provide leadership to develop, document and drive our manufacturing processes to deliver top-quality products to meet customer quality requirements. You will play a key role throughout the product lifecycle ensuring manufacturability, quality, reliability, and cost effectiveness.\nWork directly with production teams to support manufacturing and new-product- introduction (NPI) initiatives, installing new designs to production floor.\nParticipate in Manufacturing tooling design and upgrades using Siemens NX 3D CAD simulation program or modeling.\nTransfer NPI precision opto-mechanical tooling, processes and procedures to build up production line capacity, conducting training to technicians, and able to evaluate and qualify manufacturing processes.\nSupport customer returns by leading failure investigations, determining root causes, developing corrective and preventive actions (CAPA), directing the work of production technicians, generating quotes and dispositions, and authoring customer-facing technical reports.\nActively participate in the release of new product introductions (NPI). Support product tooling and process designs to ensure reliable manufacturability.\nDefine and develop assembly processes and documentation, support production trouble shooting, and lead manufacturing personal to make corrective actions for product test, assembly and packaging.\nSupport, implement, and update optics products’ assembly and test procedures while continuously making relevant improvements.\nDevelop on-the-job expertise to troubleshoot and resolve optical interferometer product issues.\nResolve production issues related to final assembly and test of interferometer products.\nWork closely with different function groups to support production on MRB, RMA and process improvement activities.\nDevelop new and update existing manufacturing procedures in collaboration with technical writers (address return-driven preventive actions, production feedback, change requests, and tooling improvements).\nLead production test station upgrades to include: hardware design support, coordination of software updates, and qualification of new or modified test methods.\nSupport supply-chain department on second-source developments and qualifications.\nDevelop, review, and provide technical feedback for engineering change orders affecting interferometer product BOMs, drawings, procedures, and other related documentation.\nDrive cost-reduction initiatives while establishing robust process controls to consistently deliver high-quality products to customers.\nWork collaboratively with a cross-functional team to deliver long-term, cost-effective solutions.\nDevelop and maintain yield tracking tools across product families.\nQualifications\nRequired\nBachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Physics, Optical Sciences, or a closely related technical discipline.\n4-7 years of experience working in technical manufacturing environment.\nStrong communicator who collaborates effectively across functions and supports technical discussions with data and analysis.\nDemonstrated ability to think critically and work independently to develop ideas and translate new concepts into practical, results-driven solutions.\nPreferred\nManufacturing Engineer III / Advanced Level\nIndependently applies engineering judgment to improve products, processes, and manufacturing methodologies.\nExperience with translating interferometer product requirements to optical component specifications and optical assembly techniques.\nWorking knowledge of geometrical optics, opto-mechanical, and kinematic design principles.\nHands-on experience in one or more of the following:Precision opto-mechanical manufacturing\nOptics assembly and test\nOptics, lasers, and fiber-optics industry standards \nKinematic mechanical designs\n\nExperience of using CAD designs to create assembly tools with design analysis such Siemens NX, PTC CREO or ANSYS preferred\nFamiliarity with structured problem-solving methodologies and quality systems (e.g., CAPA, 5 Why’s, 8D, Lean Six Sigma).\nCareers Privacy StatementKeysight is an Equal Opportunity Employer.\nThe level of role will be based on applicable experience, education and skills; Most offers will be between the minimum and the midpoint of the Salary Range listed below.\nCalifornia Pay Range MIN $110,660.00 MIDPOINT $147,540.00 MAX $184,430.00\nNote: For other locations, pay ranges will vary by region\nUS Employees may be eligible for the following benefits:\nMedical, dental and vision\nHealth Savings Account\nHealth Care and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts\nLife, Accident, Disability insurance\nBusiness Travel Accident and Business Travel Health\n401(k) Plan\nFlexible Time Off, Paid Holidays\nPaid Family Leave\nDiscounts, Perks\nTuition Reimbursement\nAdoption Assistance\nESPP (Employee Stock Purchase Plan)\nAs a Optical Mechanical Manufacturing Engineer, you will be responsible for improving products, processes, and components to meet customer and system performance requirements.
