Our mission is to provide leading optical innovations and solutions by designing, manufacturing and supplying the best optical fibers, fiber cable and components and devices for our customers, with exceptional service that creates value for our shareholders, customers and employees. To do so, we must continue shaping the future of communications by applying the best minds to the challenges our customers will continually face.

We are seeking a Development Engineer to join our Specialty division in Avon, CT and support continued business growth.

This position serves as the technical expert for fiber-based sensing at Avon, covering specialty sensing fibers, multicore shape sensing fiber, and Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBGs).

Essential duties and responsibilities include:

Shape Sensor Manufacturing Technology Development

Act as technical lead for shape sensor manufacturing technology across preform, fiber draw, grating inscription, and testing; partner with Production, Process Engineering, and Quality.
Lead data-driven root cause analysis and process improvements for yield and quality issues (e.g., twist rate, core spacing, cross-core wavelength variation) using DOE, SPC, and FMEA; support MRB decisions.
Develop and improve test methods and capability (e.g., OBR/OFDR characterization) to increase throughput and measurement confidence.
Define and document process specifications, design rules, and technical know-how to scale production reliably.

Lead Avon NPD for the Sensing Value Stream

Lead or participate in projects to design and develop specialty sensing fibers and fiber-based sensing products, including multicore fibers and FBGs, within the NPD system.
Own technical plans, risks, and deliverables for sensing NPD projects; present status and decisions needed at stage-gate and governance reviews.
Review customers’ requests, design, and cost as part of the RFQ process.
Assess technology and manufacturing readiness and close gaps to commercialization.
Maintain integrity of technical data for existing fiber and sensing products and participate in portfolio optimization.
Mentor engineers and technicians and share sensing expertise across teams.

Cross-functional and Global Collaboration

Work with Marketing and Product Management to translate market and customer needs into technical requirements and the sensing technology roadmap.
Partner with Lightera Labs on emerging sensing technologies and transfer them into development.
Collaborate with LATAM and APAC teams on sensing products, customers, and technology development across regions.
Interact with customers to understand applications and provide recommendations or customized solutions.

Key qualifications include:

S. degree in a technical field with 5-15 years of program management expertise across the full product life cycle within a phase-gate development process. Demonstrated experience managing multi-location scale-ups and complex technology transfers.
Demonstrated leadership in facilitating and motivating a cross-functional team.
Demonstrated ability to plan activities towards a goal in a logical sequence.
Basic business finance awareness (ability to review a product cost model, ability to understand project cash flow).
Proficiency in Microsoft Project strongly preferred
Prior experience with optical fiber or cabling technology
PMP Certification preferred.
Experience working under ISO 9001, ISO 13485, or AS9100 quality system
Experience interfacing with outside customers
Excellent attention to detail
