# Senior Process Development Engineer for Fiber Optics Connectivity Solutions (m/f/d)
## Role Purpose
We are seeking a hands-on, technically driven individual to lead the development and industrialization of new products and processes in the field of optical connectivity and co-packaged optics. This role requires a proactive engineer who can build processes and product from scratch, drive innovation, and lead new product introductions (NPI) from the first prototype through to mass production.
## Key Responsibilities
* Serve as a technical lead in cross-functional project teams to prototype, develop, test, and release new products and processes.
* Develop and optimize processes for small series production and scale them for mass manufacturing.
* Apply structured problem-solving methodologies (e.g., FMEA, DMAIC, DoE, KT) to improve product and process concepts.
* Transfer NPI from the technology team to the engineering team using the Corning Innovation process.
* Evaluate and select components based on customer requirements.
* Introducing automation solutions where applicable.
* Stay current with trends in fiber optic technologies and advanced metrology.
* Document and protect intellectual property through patent submissions.
* Collaborate with international, multidisciplinary teams.
## Required Qualifications
* 5-10 years of working experience in industry is required.
* Bachelor’s or master’s degree in mechanical engineering, Physics, Electronics, Materials Science, or a related field.
* Proven success in NPI projects from initial prototype to mass production.
* Strong hands-on and R&D skills in building prototypes, troubleshooting, and sample preparation.
* Experience in analyzing and scaling small series production.
* Knowledge in mechanical or optomechanical assembly technology or advanced metrology.
* Familiarity with quality management systems and Six Sigma tools.
* Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
* Fluent in English (spoken and written).
## Preferred Qualifications
* Experience with Optical Fiber, Fiber Array Units, or Co-Packaged Optics.
* Demonstrated success in implementing automation solutions.
* Passion for innovation and creativity in technical problem-solving.
* Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work across regional and cultural boundaries.
* Excellent communications, interpersonal and influencing skills.
