About the role

Job Description: 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.

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 vender 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. A polygraph examination is required due to program clearance requirements. The polygraph may be expired (beyond the standard 5-year validity period).

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
