Senior Principal Fiber Optic Product Engineer

Summary

We are looking for a hands-on senior technical leader to help grow a fiber optic assembly business.

You’ll develop complex assemblies, solve production challenges, and turn new customer opportunities into real products. This is not a pure management role. You’ll stay actively involved in the process, the people, and the product.

What you’ll do

• Own the development and production of high-density single-mode and multimode MTP/MPO assemblies, trunks, breakouts, and custom builds
• Lead process ownership from termination and polishing through testing, troubleshooting, and yield improvement
• Take new products and connector platforms from RFQ through process qualification and production launch
• Drive manufacturing yield, throughput, and consistency improvements
• Mentor technicians and engineers and jump into the hardest technical problems

What we’re looking for

• Strong hands-on experience building and engineering high-density MTP/MPO multifiber assemblies
• Practical knowledge of ferrule polishing processes (including the challenges that come with TMT and multi-fiber ferrules)
• Experience supporting data center, hyperscale, telecom, or high-speed optical applications
• Comfort working to IEC, TIA, Telcordia, and customer-specific optical performance and inspection requirements
• Track record of improving yields or standing up new assembly processes

Nice to have

• Direct experience with US Conec products and processes
• Exposure to MMC, VSFF, or other next-generation connector platforms
• Experience qualifying a new connector assembly capability from the ground up

If this matches your background and you want a senior role where your technical skills still matter every day, apply here!
