Why Youll Love This Role

As an Opto-Mechanical Design Engineer at Lumentum you will play a critical role in the design and development of next-generation optical products for cloud data centers AI/ML and Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) platforms. You will be part of a high-performing team that transforms innovative design concepts into cutting-edge/market-leading products through rapid digital and physical prototyping.

Your work will include a broad range of design considerations including structural integrity dynamics (shock and vibration) thermal management optical performance reliability manufacturability process optimization cost and time-to-market. We are looking for a collaborative innovative and hands-on engineer who thrives in a team-oriented environment brainstorming design challenges to generate bold ideas and transform them into concept designs initial prototypes and ultimately mature product designs for high-volume manufacturing in a fast-paced design cycle.

In this role you will be responsible for the opto-mechanical design of Lumentums next-generation products directly influencing the future of cloud data centers AI/ML infrastructure and telecom networks. You will also contribute to the development of manufacturing processes to address complex design challenges. This role involves close collaboration with optical electrical simulation tooling design process reliability and product engineers as well as product design authorities. Additionally you will work closely with project managers and the supply chain team to ensure designs meet strict time-to-market and cost requirements.

At Lumentum we operate in a fast-paced dynamic environment with a team of highly self-motivated professionals. We seek a candidate with a strong commitment to continuous learning and innovation particularly in product design with a focus on innovation cost time-to-market process optimization and manufacturability. Our R&D team in Ottawa has a long history of delivering state-of-the-art market-leading optical products.

What Youll Be Doing

• Design the opto-mechanical elements of next-generation optical products for telecom data centers and AI/ML infrastructure from concept to completion in collaboration with cross-functional teams. Ensure designs meet opto-mechanical thermal performance reliability time-to-market and cost requirements
• Lead concept design evaluations and define the optimal design architecture in collaboration with simulation optical design authority tooling hardware/electrical and process teams
• Conduct design reviews focusing on design for manufacturability (DfM) engineering analysis to predict product performance and reliability design optimization material selection dimensional stability of optics and tolerance analysis
• Engage with suppliers to explore new technologies and materials for opto-mechanical packaging and advanced semiconductor packaging including flip chips 2.5D/3D advanced packaging adhesives/epoxies/underfills ceramics thermal interface materials hermetic packaging technologies and thermoelectric coolers
• Perform FEA to evaluate stress warpage solder joint reliability in advanced electronics packaging assemblies
• Simulate/quantify linear/nonlinear material behaviors of BGA solder joints copper pillars underfills in terms of plasticity/viscoelasticity creep etc.
• Drive design of experiments (DOEs) to guide design decisions and process improvements covering chip warpage stress-optics dimensional stability of optics shock and vibration and thermal performance
• Document design files best practices and internal design guidelines to ensure knowledge retention and continuous improvement
