Job Overview

We are looking for an Engineer to join the Rugged Fiber Optics team in Arden, supporting product development, design changes, manufacturing, qualification, and sustaining engineering activities for rugged fiber optic products, including connectors, termini, cable assemblies, and related components.

The role requires strong CAD capability, preferably Creo, and will support engineering drawings, product extensions, engineering changes, prototypes, qualification activities, technical problem solving, and production readiness.

The engineer will also help coordinate materials required for prototype, qualification, NPI, and engineering builds. Experience using SAP to review BOMs, understand material requirements and availability, and support material coordination is required.

The successful candidate will work closely with engineering, manufacturing, planning, procurement, quality, suppliers, and other cross-functional teams. They should be a self-starter, able to manage changing priorities, comfortable working hands-on with the product, and capable of collaborating with remote sites and external partners when needed.

Job Requirements

• Support product development and design activities for rugged fiber optic products, including connectors, termini, cable assemblies, and related components.
• Create, update, and maintain CAD models and engineering drawings, with Creo experience preferred.
• Support engineering change activity from technical evaluation through implementation, including Engineering Change Requests and Engineering Change Notices, CAD models, drawing revisions, product extensions, BOM changes, and associated technical documentation.
• Liaise with manufacturing plant locations to support product builds, process feedback, troubleshooting, and production readiness.
• Provide hands-on engineering support for prototype, qualification, NPI, and production builds, including troubleshooting mechanical, optical, and manufacturing issues.
• Assist with design verification and qualification activities, including test plans, test requests, lab support, and engineering build support.
• Participate in design reviews, DFMEA, PFMEA, tolerance reviews, and other engineering readiness activities.
• Support requests for product extensions, drawing changes, engineering quotes, and part-costing activities where required.
• Use SAP to support engineering activities including BOM review, material requirements, material availability, inventory visibility, and engineering build readiness.
• Coordinate materials and components required for prototype, qualification, NPI, and engineering builds, working with planning, procurement, manufacturing, and suppliers to identify requirements, track availability, and help resolve material shortages or constraints.
• Work with cross-functional teams to identify practical design and process improvements that improve manufacturability, cost, quality, and efficiency.
• Lead or support structured root-cause investigations for design, manufacturing, test, and product-performance issues and assist in driving appropriate corrective actions to closure.
• Communicate clearly within a team environment to ensure alignment, clarity of purpose, and customer satisfaction.

Critical Experience

• Experience in mechanical design, product design, or product development.
• Strong CAD experience, preferably Creo.
• Experience creating or updating engineering drawings and supporting engineering change activity.
• Working experience with SAP or a comparable ERP system, with the ability to support BOM, material, and engineering build activities.
• Experience coordinating materials, components, and engineering build requirements across engineering, planning, procurement, and manufacturing teams.
• Working knowledge of GD&T, tolerance analysis, engineering drawings, and design for manufacturability.
• Fiber optic, connector, cable assembly, electronic, optoelectronic, or similar product experience would be beneficial.

Preferred Competencies

• Creo CAD capability.
• Experience with rugged fiber optics, fiber optic connectors, termini, cable assemblies, interconnect products, or other precision-engineered components.
• Understanding of fiber optic systems and integration.
• Experience supporting component sourcing or supplier engagement.
• SAP experience, particularly with BOMs, material requirements, inventory, material availability, and engineering build coordination.
• Experience supporting prototype, qualification, or NPI material requirements.

What your background should look like

• Bachelor's degree in an appropriate engineering discipline, or equivalent relevant experience.
• Relevant design, product development, manufacturing engineering, or sustaining engineering experience.
• CAD experience is required, with Creo preferred.
• Experience using SAP or a comparable ERP system to support engineering, BOM, or material-related activities.
• Ability to coordinate material requirements and availability in support of engineering builds and project schedules.
• Proficient with Microsoft Office software.
• Ability to work effectively in a team environment and manage multiple priorities.
• ITAR requirement applies, as specified for this requisition.
