The Manufacturing Engineer – Laser Welding is responsible for collaborating with NPI, Quality, Maintenance, and Operations teams to lead process ownership for laser welding applications used in high-speed cable assemblies, backplane systems, and electronic interconnect products — supporting NPI, process transfer, production ramp, and stable mass production.

Responsibilities:

Own manufacturing readiness and ongoing process performance for assigned products, including laser welding process definition, equipment, optics, fixtures, tooling, workstation design, process parameters, documentation, capacity, and training.
Define, validate, release, and maintain weld schedules, focal position, spot size, power, pulse profile, travel speed, beam path, shielding gas, clamping conditions, heat input, and acceptance criteria; establish robust process windows for thin metals, shields, terminals, and connector components.
Lead DFM reviews focused on material compatibility, coatings and plating, joint geometry, gap control, laser access, reflectivity, heat-affected-zone risk, distortion, spatter,



porosity, and penetration.
Specify, qualify, install, and support laser welding systems, beam delivery, vision alignment, optics, motion platforms, fixtures, extraction, guarding, and poka-yoke devices.
Develop DOE and validation plans to confirm weld penetration, nugget size, joint strength, electrical resistance, dimensional stability, and process capability; establish first-article requirements, cross-sectioning, pull testing, inspection standards, SPC controls, and reaction plans.
Integrate laser welding with cable preparation, termination, shielding, connector assembly, and electrical test; partner with Signal Integrity and Test Engineering to evaluate weld-related effects on grounding, contact resistance, impedance, and high-speed electrical performance.
Provide hands-on engineering support during EVT, DVT, PVT, pilot, ramp, and mass production builds.
