Historically, our client has been an electronics designer and manufacturer. Now, they are moving into opto-electronics design and manufacture. This is a new role working in the engineering team leading the productisation of optical products.

Info about what the Process Development Engineer role entails There are 2 new products initially for the 2025 year, with a pipeline of new products for 2026. We are looking for someone to start ASAP, and you will be the company SME for process modules. This is a lead role, but not initially leading a team, instead working closely with the design engineer and production to bring the product to eventually mass production (initially 50-100 per month, eventually 1000 per month).

They have orders in place, the design is done, they need to manufacture it to cost, yield, etc. The product currently doesn't exist in the marketplace, and this will help establish the client as a leader in opto-electronics.

You will have been involved with the package assembly of opto-electronics at fibre to dye level (not the wafer level) - a 2 point end to end product where the microelectronics fibre touches the dye down to micron level - secure it and stake it for a harsh environment. NPD - lean manufacturing experience, full production of fibre optics products. PFMEA experience.

Desirable Requirements of the Process Development Engineer

Telco opto-electronics / miniaturisation experience. SC Cleared / Clearable. Military standard / DEFSTAN product experience - Military and Aerospace grade product experience.
