Summary:  You will join a multi-disciplinary, high-performance engineering team providing hands-on electro-optical engineering and product design.  You will be directly involved in the development of high-performance, environmentally-hardened laser and electro-optical products.  Alfalight provides a dynamic, fast-paced environment with motivated and exceptionally capable teams.

Responsibilities

• Conceptualize and design new products, starting from optical bench prototypes through to final package, then guide ramp-up of pilot manufacturing
• Detailed electro-optical design including integration of lasers with optics, drive electronics, and external electrical/mechanical interfaces
• Work closely with marketing and engineering team members to define end-product requirements
• Manage projects including prototype and product development schedules, driven with a gate-based new product introduction process
• Plan activities and monitor execution efficiently in a cross-disciplinary, tightly-integrated team work environment

Qualifications

• Must have demonstrated skill designing and developing new electro-optical products and/or laser systems
• Experience with handheld electronic/electro-optical device in a volume manufacturing environment a substantial plus
• At least 3-5 years previous work experience (preferably in military lasers/electro-optics, ruggedized electronic or electro-optical products, or similar fields)
• Bachelors’ degree or higher in engineering, physics, or related field.  Master’s degree or higher a plus.
• Proficiency in appropriate design/analysis tools (e.g., optical: Zemax, mechanical CAD: SolidWorks, analysis: Mathcad, or similar tools)
• Experience with military/gun-mounted/ruggedized products a plus
• US citizenship or permanent residency status required.  Prior experience working on ITAR-controlled program a plus.

Travel requirements: Occasional

Supervise others: No

Special remarks:  As part of a growing company, must be willing to contribute as needed in order to meet company goals and customer commitments.
