• Maintain adherence to high‑reliability handling, ESD, cleanliness, and safety protocols.


• Operate and maintain optical device fabrication equipment (e.g., wire bonders, photomasking tools, epoxy systems) following required training.


• Apply working knowledge of engineering processes to identify issues in straightforward situations and recommend improvements.


• Interpret and execute technical procedures, drawings, and specifications with minimal oversight.
