Job description

About viaPhoton

We are changing the norm by being customer-focused, technology-led.
viaPhoton builds custom-engineered fiber optic solutions that power AI infrastructure, data centers, and 5G networks for some of the biggest names in tech. In five years we've grown to a team of 200+ and 4x'd our revenue in the last year alone, and we're just getting started. We're looking for dependable, hardworking people who take pride in their work and want to grow with us.

About the Role

You'll own the manufacturing processes behind our fiber optic products, designing, optimizing, and improving the way we produce at scale. This is the natural step up from our Process Technician role and a great fit for a new grad or early-career engineer. You'll run experiments, solve problems at the root, guide continuous improvement, and even get out to some of the world's most advanced data centers to see where our fiber lands.

  • Design, develop, and optimize manufacturing processes for new and existing fiber optic products
  • Plan and run tests, experiments, and designed experiments (DOEs), using data to improve processes
  • Troubleshoot equipment and processes to minimize downtime, and manage calibration, setup, and maintenance
  • Guide continuous improvement and support new product introduction with product development and quality teams
  • Provide occasional field support, including the chance to step inside some of the world's most advanced data centers (10% travel)

What You'll Bring

  • Have a bachelor's degree in engineering or a related field (1+ years of experience, and new grads are welcome)
  • Have experience with CAD software, SolidWorks preferred (academic use is fine)
  • Are proficient with dimensional measurements, GD&T, calibration, and working with process data using statistical tools
  • Bring strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills with careful attention to detail
  • Are familiar with Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, or continuous improvement methods; bilingual Spanish is a bonus
