RFPC, PCB, and other component parts.

Establish requirements for camera systems in collaboration with architects and

system engineers.

Collaborate with the Product Design team to negotiate the camera module MCO and

system interface requirements.

Interface directly with vendors and suppliers, ensuring manufacturability and quality.

Conduct rigorous tolerance analysis of camera module design and component parts.

Document engineering requirements and create detailed 2D manufacturing and

inspection drawings.

Collaborate with reliability and supply chain teams to ensure durability and ramp-up

for mass production.

Communicate technical information and complex concepts clearly across teams and

stakeholders.

Travel domestically and internationally as needed for business and supplier

engagement.

Required Skills Experience

BS or higher in Mechanical Engineering, Optics, Physics, or related field.

3+ years of proven experience designing miniature opto-mechanical modules or

components for consumer electronics, such as AR/VR, mobile devices, or cameras.
