About Voyant Photonics
Located in the vibrant heart of New York City, Voyant Photonics is revolutionizing machine perception with an innovative line of compact LiDAR devices that fit snugly in your palm while delivering exceptional measurements of range, velocity, and reflectivity with unmatched precision. Our cutting-edge silicon photonic chips, smaller than a fingertip, allow us to provide sensors that are not just groundbreaking in performance but also economically viable for integration into various systems.
We are disrupting the conventional landscape of bulky, costly, and energy-intensive LiDAR systems, making high-precision sensing feasible for extensive applications in robotics, autonomous vehicles, drones, industrial automation, and more.
The Opportunity
Voyant Photonics is on the lookout for a Senior Manufacturing Production Test Engineer to join our Manufacturing Operations team. In this role, you will spearhead the development of component- through module-level, in-line, and End-of-Line (EOL) production test systems at our contract manufacturers (CMs).
Working in close collaboration with Electrical Engineering, Mechanical, Systems, Photonics, and Software/Firmware teams, as well as with CMs, you will translate lab-level validation methods into robust, production-ready tests and high-throughput test systems covering wafer, die, subassembly, and final module stages. You will take ownership of the deployment, validation, and continuous enhancement of in-line test processes, ensuring consistent yields, reliability, and data integrity throughout all manufacturing phases.
Key Responsibilities
Collaborate with Electrical and Module Test Engineering teams to convert lab-level methodologies into robust, repeatable production tests for CM environments.
Oversee the deployment, validation, and ongoing support of in-line test systems across wafer, die, laser, subassembly, and final module stages.
Lead test industrialization initiatives for photonics, lasers, PCBAs, and amplifiers in partnership with foundries, OSATs, and CMs, focusing on ATE, probe card, and optical alignment validation.
Establish test coverage, acceptance criteria, and yield targets for all production phases.
Facilitate collaboration with CMs on test fixture design, equipment qualification, calibration, and maintenance to guarantee repeatability and operational uptime.
Implement automated test scripts, calibration routines, and data pipelines for enhanced traceability and real-time yield monitoring.
Utilize SPC, Cp/Cpk, DOE, and root cause analysis techniques to enhance process capability and test stability.
Manage CM test audits, cross-site collaborations, and documentation to ensure compliance and best practices.
