Jobbeschreibung

Samtec is looking for a Process Metrology Engineer to join our growing Optics team in Colorado Springs, CO. This day-shift role offers the opportunity to work hands-on with cutting-edge optoelectronic products and help turn innovative designs into successful, scalable manufacturing processes.

Summary/Objective:

The Samtec Optics division is continuously developing new products for the optoelectronics industry, and the Microelectronics Process Engineering team plays a critical role in bringing those products from design into production.

Metrology is an important part of ensuring product quality and process performance throughout the optoelectronic assembly process. The Process Metrology Engineer will partner with Design Engineering, Operations, and Quality to develop, implement, improve, and sustain metrology processes and equipment supporting Samtec’s optical transceiver products.

Essential Functions/Responsibilities:

• Become a technical expert in process metrology equipment and measurement methods, serving as a key contributor during design reviews, prototype and development activities, new product introduction, and production.
• Develop, program, document, and maintain processes and procedures for automated and manual metrology equipment.
• Assess existing metrology processes and identify opportunities to improve accuracy, repeatability, capability, efficiency, and overall process performance.
• Generate clear technical reports and specifications documenting experimental results, process findings, and procedures. Provide DOE, SPC, yield, and other data analysis in a clear and presentable format.
• Work independently while collaborating effectively with engineers, technicians, operators, customers, suppliers, and other cross-functional partners to achieve program objectives.
• Evaluate new metrology equipment and technologies and provide recommendations to support continuous improvement and future product and customer requirements.
• Work hands-on in a manufacturing environment, including directly with products and equipment and alongside engineers, technicians, and operators supporting production.

The responsibilities as defined are intended to serve as a general guideline for this position. Associates may be asked to perform additional tasks depending on business needs, strengths, and capabilities.

Required Experience:

• Ability to read and interpret production drawings, including GD&T and critical dimensional requirements.
• Hands-on experience operating metrology equipment such as OGP SmartScope and/or Nikon NEXIV video measurement systems, as well as experience with microscopes, mechanical shear/pull-strength testing, leak testing, and cleanliness or surface-preparation testing.
• Demonstrated experience developing or improving metrology, manufacturing, or assembly processes.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications, including Excel, PowerPoint, Word, and SharePoint.

Preferred Experience:

• Experience with Gage R&R, Design of Experiments (DOE), SPC, and data analysis. Experience with JMP or similar statistical analysis software is preferred.
• Experience with microelectronics or microsystem packaging and SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or other engineering design, modeling, or simulation software is desirable.
• Knowledge of packaging technologies and materials used within the microelectronics and optoelectronics industries is a plus.

Education:

• Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Materials Engineering, Physics, or a related technical field is required.

This is a day-shift position based in Colorado Springs, CO.
