Job Summary
In this role, you will assemble and integrate complex electro-optical systems, optimize test processes, and develop production documentation to ensure efficient small-series manufacturing.
Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- The future of AI computing is light, not electrons.
- Q.ANT is building photonic processing systems that compute with light - delivering a scalable, energy-efficient alternative to transistor-based architectures for next-generation AI and HPC applications.
- Turning prototypes into production-ready systems requires more than lab innovation. It demands hands-on assembly, robust system integration, and rigorous testing to guarantee performance, reliability, and manufacturability.
- As our Senior Production Engineer, your mission is to assemble, integrate, and validate complex electro-optical and electronic-mechanical systems.
- You will establish stable test and integration processes, optimize workflows, and ensure small-series production ramp-up runs smoothly, enabling Q.ANT's next-generation servers to be delivered on time and at scale.
- Assemble, integrate, and test advanced photonic and electronic systems, ensuring repeatability, quality, and performance.
- Develop and standardize assembly sequences, test protocols, and production documentation to enable scalable manufacturing.
- Perform hands-on troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, and system-level debugging to prevent rework, yield loss, and field failures.
- Collaborate with R&D, quality, supply chain, and manufacturing to ensure smooth handover, test coverage, and integration readiness.
- Optimize workstations, tooling, and end-to-end test sequences to support efficient ramp-up from prototypes to small-series production.
- Drive continuous process improvement and quality assurance initiatives, including verification workflows, structured problem solving, and implementation of corrective actions.
