About Anello Photonics:

ANELLO Photonics http://www.anellophotonics.com is a leading-edge technology company based in Santa Clara, CA. The company has developed integrated photonic system-on-chip technology for next generation navigation. ANELLO's SIPHOG™ gyroscope is based on its patented photonic integrated circuit technology. The result is a product that is higher performance, much smaller size and weight, at a fraction of the cost of traditional gyros used in industrial, aerospace and military applications. It enables reliable and accurate navigation and positioning in GPS-Denied environments across autonomous applications for Land, Air and Sea. ANELLO has a growing list of customers and revenue through design wins in commercial and defense.  We're engaged in testing trials with various market-leading customers in the Construction, Farming, Trucking, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, Autonomous Vehicles, and National Security segments.

ANELLO is seeking a detailed oriented and hands-on candidate who will take pride in driving new product development through prototype into production at scale. The successful candidate would work closely with R&D and Engineering teams to develop assembly and test processes used during the manufacturing of electromechanical components and subassemblies of IMU/INS navigation systems. We are a ~30 person company currently shipping product and planning for increase in production. This role could involve a wide range of hands-on tasks associated with improving our onsite production, while leading our shift of production to contract manufacturers. You could also serve as a primary electrical engineering resource on the team.

Responsibilities:

• Lead and support cross-functional team of engineers (ee, me, fw, optical) in the development of new products and drive design for manufacturing excellence.
• Participate on a project team of engineers involved in the specification, design, development, assembly and test of product hardware.
• Provide manufacturing input to electrical design reviews. Design for DFx (DFM/DFA)
• Perform new product and sustaining engineering functions.
• Provide training/mentorship to contract manufacturing (CM) personnel. Ensure that Manufacturing receives the required level of product training.
• Improve manufacturing operations processes and actively enhance efficiency, consistency, cost avoidance, and customer satisfaction.
• Assist in early prototype testing and troubleshooting/debug to find root cause failures and drive back fixes to engineering or contract manufacturer. 
• Work in conformance with established manufacturing processes and procedures.
• Perform value engineering and cost reduction activities.
• Develop manufacturing process and best practice documentation.

Qualifications

• B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or related field
• 5-7 years of hands-on experience in manufacturing engineering in areas such as aerospace, defense, automotive, or high reliability electronics
• Solid understanding of electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and electro-mechanical assembly.
• Produce high quality documentation that is clearly understandable by internal and external personnel
• Prior hands-on experience with assembly and test equipment and associated design
• Able to work independently and as a strong team player being detail-oriented, organized, and hands-on.

Additional Information:

• Due to contracts ANELLO works under affiliated with U.S. government, applicants must be a United States Citizen.
• If you're excited to work on cutting-edge navigation systems solving real-world challenges and being a part of a collaborative and fun work culture, we’d love to hear from you!
