About the Role
The Technician – Optical Test and Measurement is a hands-on technical role within the Optical Components and Integration team, supporting engineers in the development, characterization, and validation of optical components and assemblies. The technician will primarily be responsible for executing optical measurements on engineering prototypes and early-stage test setups, maintaining measurement equipment, and ensuring reliable and repeatable data generation during development activities.
Responsibilities
- Perform optical measurements on optical components, fiber assemblies, and early-stage prototypes under guidance of development engineers
- Set up, operate, and maintain optical test and measurement equipment (e.g., light sources, power meters, spectrum analyzers, interferometers, alignment stages)
- Support the build-up, modification, and teardown of engineering and early-stage measurement setups
- Execute predefined test procedures and measurement plans for development and validation activities
- Record, organize, and document measurement data in a structured and traceable manner
- Conduct basic data checks (plausibility, repeatability) and flag deviations or issues to responsible engineers
- Support comparative testing, screening measurements, and parameter sweeps on prototype hardware
- Assist in troubleshooting of measurement setups, optical alignment issues, and hardware-related problems
- Ensure proper handling, labeling, and storage of optical samples, fixtures, and test hardware
- Follow lab safety rules, ESD guidelines, and internal quality procedures
- Support calibration, verification, and basic maintenance of measurement equipment
