Our Optical Communications segment has recently evolved from being a manufacturer of optical fiber and cable, hardware and equipment to being a comprehensive provider of industry-leading optical solutions across the broader communications industry.This segment is classified into two main product groupings u2013 carrier network and enterprise network. The carrier network product group consists primarily of products and solutions for optical-based communications infrastructure for services such as video, data and voice communications. The enterprise network product group consists primarily of optical-based communication networks sold to businesses, governments and individuals for their own use. Role Purpose This position is responsible for the design, development, improvement, and industrialization of glass melting and forming platformsu2014encompassing both process and equipmentu2014to enable next generation manufacturing capabilities. The role emphasizes driving deep, root cause understanding of manufacturing limitations through rigorous application of the scientific method and sound engineering principles, supported by well designed and executed process experiments. Insights gained from experimentation are translated into clear engineering requirements and subsequently into robust process and equipment designs that meet defined performance objectives. The work is typically performed as part of a technology development team focused on advancing manufacturing performance, including improvements in yield, process rate, equipment utilization, product and new product quality, environmental compliance, raw material efficiency, and energy usage. Key Responsibilities u2022 Manage structured product/process development and utilize the Innovation Process and relevant risk management tools to ensure on-time delivery u2022 Use established processes to identify concepts for manufacturing new and advantaged products and processes; design and execute product or process validation tests in a manufacturing plant; analyze data, draw conclusions, and make recommendations u2022 Lead cross-functional teams and apply traditional project management methodologies of performance, scheduling, and cost control; set direction, roles and responsibilities, and priorities for team members and self-directed work u2022 Use Scientific Method to define problems, outline hypotheses, design critical experiments and use fundamental understanding to drive robust solutions u2022 Provide cost of manufacturability analyses Qualifications: Experiences/Education Required u2022 Bacheloru2019s Degree in Chemical Engineering , Mechanical Engineering, or Materials Science u2022 5+ years of relevant process engineering experience with emphasis on thermal processing of materials, including understanding of associated product and equipment performance. u2022 Experience with data processing software (e.g. Python, Jump, PowerBI, etc.) and Microsoft Office suite (Excel, Word, PowerPoint). Modeling simulation software experience optional (e.g. Aspen, Matlab, Fluent). u2022 Working knowledge of physical phenomena (e.g., static and dynamic physics, heat and mass transfer, etc.) with a strong background in utilizing this knowledge to improve manufacturing processes and product attributes. u2022 Ability + drive to manage structured product/process development simultaneously with functional management of a team. Desired Skills u2022 Fundamental understanding of energy and mass transport and modeling of same (e.g. FEA). u2022 Fundamental understanding of chemical transport and reaction processes as well as resultant product and equipment performance. u2022 Ability to translate engineering solutions to requirements, then further to process and/or equipment designs which deliver all required and promised performance criteria. u2022 Effectively use relevant measured and/or modeled data to drive decisions and actions.
