The role works closely with Lumentum Quality, R&D, NPI, Process Engineering, and the CM's Quality and Engineering teams to monitor product and process performance, resolve issues, implement changes, and support stable production. The CM Engineer reports to the CM Quality Manager and provides timely, data-driven updates on risks, actions, and results.\nKey Responsibilities\nAssigned Product Quality Ownership\nOwn day-to-day quality performance for assigned products at the CM, including defect prevention, containment, corrective action, and quality-risk management.\n\nTranslate Lumentum product requirements into practical quality controls, critical-to-quality characteristics, specifications, acceptance criteria, inspection methods, and reaction plans.\n\nReview product quality data, defects, yield loss, test results, and customer or internal feedback to identify trends and prioritize actions.\n\nCM Quality and Engineering Collaboration\nWork with the CM Quality and Engineering teams to monitor and improve assembly and test processes, including alignment, laser or detector attach, die and wire bonding, fiber handling, epoxy dispensing and curing, soldering, cleaning, optical and electrical testing, calibration, screening, and final inspection.\n\nCoordinate regular product and process reviews with the CM, ensuring actions have clear owners, due dates, technical evidence, and effective closure.\n\nMaintain effective communication between Lumentum and the CM on product requirements, process risks, engineering changes, deviations, and quality performance.\n\nProblem Solving and Corrective Action\nCoordinate containment and lead structured problem solving for customer complaints, product escapes, production defects, audit findings, and other quality issues affecting assigned products.\n\nUse appropriate methods such as 8D, 5-Why, fishbone analysis, SPC, DOE, and fault-tree analysis to identify root causes and implement sustainable corrective actions.\n\nVerify corrective-action effectiveness and ensure lessons learned are incorporated into control plans, PFMEA, work instructions, inspection criteria, and training.\n\nNPI, Change and Production Support\nSupport NPI, product qualification, manufacturing transfer, process validation, and production ramp for assigned products.\n\nReview and support updates to control plans, PFMEA, process capability, measurement-system controls, traceability, and engineering-change documentation.\n\nProvide quality support during production issues, process changes, material changes, and product transitions to protect quality, delivery, and customer commitments.\n\nKPI and Continuous Improvement\nTrack and report product and CM quality KPIs, including first-pass yield, defect rate, DPPM, customer complaints, corrective-action aging, process capability.\n\nUse Pareto analysis and data-driven prioritization to support improvement projects that increase yield, reliability, process stability, and manufacturing efficiency.\n\nQualifications\nBachelor's degree in Optical Engineering, Optoelectronics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Quality Engineering, or a related field.\n\nTypically 5+ years of experience in quality, manufacturing, process, NPI, or product engineering within optical, photonic, optoelectronic, semiconductor, or electronics manufacturing.\n\nExperience working with contract manufacturers and/or cross-functional teams to resolve product and process quality issues.\n\nWorking knowledge of optical module and optical component products, assembly processes, optical/electrical testing, reliability requirements, and manufacturing quality controls.\n\nExperience with quality tools including control plans, PFMEA, SPC, process capability, MSA, 8D, CAPA, and engineering-change management.\n\nStrong communication, coordination, follow-through, analytical, and structured problem-solving skills; able to communicate effectively in English.\n\nPreferred Competencies\nOptical and optoelectronic products and assembly-process knowledge\n\nQuality-system and manufacturing-quality experience\n\nControl plan, PFMEA, SPC, MSA, process capability, and traceability management\n\nStructured problem solving using 8D, 5-Why, fishbone analysis, DOE, and CAPA\n\nCustomer complaint, product-escape, and internal quality-issue resolution\n\nNPI, product qualification, manufacturing transfer, and production-ramp support\n\nData-driven quality KPI analysis, reporting, and continuous improvement\n\nCross-functional communication, coordination, and execution\n\nRisk identification, escalation, and corrective-action follow-through\n\nOwnership, accountability, and a continuous-improvement mindset\n\nWorking Conditions\nWork across offices, cleanrooms, and manufacturing-floor environments.\n\nRegular interaction with the assigned CM and global cross-functional teams; occasional travel may be required.\n\nOccasional support outside normal working hours may be required for production issues, customer escalations, NPI, or global collaboration.\n\nWe are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company.\nWe do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, sex, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.\nWe will ensure that individuals with disabilities are provided reasonable accommodation to participate in the job application or interview process, to perform essential job functions, and to receive other benefits and privileges of employment.\nPlease contact us to request accommodation.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5992,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Lasers & Laser Systems","Optical Communications","Optics & Photonic Components"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-13T03:34:50Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":60,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.602,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":35,"reasons":["conf:2","stale_co","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-13T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/lumentum-cm-quality-engineer-assembly","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/lumentum-cm-quality-engineer-assembly.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-14T00:19:19Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":458,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-15T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":5264},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=5264"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Flumentum-cm-quality-engineer-assembly"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Flumentum-cm-quality-engineer-assembly"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Flumentum-cm-quality-engineer-assembly"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/lumentum-cm-quality-engineer-assembly\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Flumentum-cm-quality-engineer-assembly"}]}
