Develop test routines for silicon photonics optical transceivers, create custom hardware and software, automate testing, conduct experiments, analyze data, and draw conclusions. The role is a four-month onsite cooperative position for a student pursuing a degree in electrical engineering, physics, computer science, computer engineering, or a related field.

Develops coherent optical subsystem and manufacturing test solutions onsite. Responsibilities include configuring test instrumentation, supporting automated manufacturing test infrastructure, and developing .NET applications. Requires experience with optical and electrical test equipment, electronics schematics, VB or C# object-oriented programming, and SQL Server databases. Azure DevOps experience, analytical skills, and strong communication are preferred.

Mechanical engineering intern supporting coherent optical subsystem test-set development, hardware design, test-hardware configuration, and automated manufacturing test infrastructure. The role involves building complex mechanical systems, applying mechanics and materials knowledge, using Creol, collaborating with teams, and exploring AI tools to improve productivity. Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and independent-thinking skills are valued. The internship is onsite in Allentown, Pennsylvania, from June through August 2027.

Supports semiconductor wafer fabrication process integration by troubleshooting yield and performance issues, investigating root causes, assisting tool qualification and validation, performing failure analysis, monitoring SPC charts, analyzing MES data, coordinating production lots, and contributing to continuous process improvement.

Optimize opto-electronic manufacturing processes for optical modules by improving yield, reducing cycle times, conducting root cause analysis, implementing corrective actions, developing work instructions and training, monitoring production metrics, leading Lean initiatives, and supporting equipment sourcing and product launches. The role collaborates cross-functionally to resolve released-product engineering challenges and reduce costs.

Develop and implement digital pre-distortion algorithms and production software for radio hardware.
