Job Schedule: 9/80: Employees work 9 out of every 14 days totaling 80 hours worked, and have every other Friday off.
Job Description:
  • Our client has an immediate need for an Engineering Technician to join our talented team and support our customers. We are seeking a technical professional with hands-on experience in building, testing, or assembling precision components who will help build, integrate, and test photonic components into larger system assemblies. We're looking for candidates with a solid technical foundation from electronics, mechanical systems, optical work, machine shop operations, or related fields, who can read and follow technical specifications and work with precision equipment.
  • If you have experience interpreting engineering drawings, following detailed procedures, working with machining equipment (Lathes, Mills, CNC), or working in lab/manufacturing environments, your skills are transferable here. While photonics experience is a plus, it's not required; we provide comprehensive on-the-job training to help technicians from other technical disciplines learn photonics-specific skills, including fiber optics handling, optical alignment techniques, and specialized testing procedures. If you have the technical aptitude and attention to detail, we'll teach you the rest. This on-site position is based in Chantilly, VA and involves conducting precision lab work at facilities throughout the greater Dulles, VA area.
Essential Functions:
  • Execute fabrication, assembly, integration, test, or inspection processes in accordance with detailed work instructions and drawings, such as: Optical Fiber Splicing and Recoating, Fabrication, assembly, and inspection of photonic circuits, Mechanical Builds and Assemblies, Metal Soldering, Microscopy and Profilometry.
  • Experience with machining parts with standard tooling and shop equipment.
  • Integration of COTS optical equipment (power meters & monitoring equipment, optical laser sources, etc.) per detailed architecture block diagrams and wiring diagrams.
  • Assistance with equipment calibration in accordance with vendor or custom calibration procedures.
  • Communicate regularly with management to ensure team is meeting expectations for cost, schedule, and quality.
  • Ensure preventative maintenance is performed regularly in accordance with documentation.
  • Maintain and operate wire bonding, photomasking, epoxy application, and other systems commonly used for optical device fabrication.
  • Maintain high standards for cleanliness, workspace organization, and reliability.
  • Experience with precision building and assembly operations.
  • Working knowledge of engineering processes and methodologies.
  • Ability to interpret and execute technical specifications.
Basic Qualifications:
  • Requires a High School Diploma or equivalent and a minimum of 6 years of prior relevant experience or 2 years post-Secondary/Associates Degree with a minimum of 2 years of prior related experience.
  • Active Top Secret/SCI with CI Poly clearance.
