Job Title: Mechanical Engineer
Job Description

Behind the scenes, this work involves a sophisticated blend of technologies—ranging from heat transfer and advanced material systems to manufacturability considerations. The primary focus is on a 1.6T product, but the role also extends into cutting-edge photonic packaging. This includes working with extremely compact devices that are integrated into larger modules for specialized applications. The designs are high-density—think of them like intricate wedding cakes, with multiple stacked layers for connectivity. Components are layered vertically, with optical fibers emerging from the top. It’s a highly versatile role that demands precision, creativity, and a deep understanding of both mechanical and photonic integration.
