Immediate need for an Engineering Technician to join our client’s talented team.
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.

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.
