Summary
Lumentum is seeking an Optical-Electronic Packaging Engineer (AI & Data Center Optical Modules) to join their team in San Jose, CA. The role involves designing and developing mechanical packaging solutions for high-speed optical modules used in AI and data center interconnect systems.
About the Role
As an Optical-Electronic Packaging Engineer, you will be responsible for defining and delivering mechanical package solutions from early concept and system architecture through prototyping, validation, and high-volume manufacturing ramp. You will perform advanced thermal and mechanical stress analysis, own GD&T definition, and collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to deliver integrated solutions. Senior engineers will provide technical leadership and influence mechanical and thermal platform strategy.
About You
Required:
- B.S. in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline (M.S. or Ph.D. preferred).
- Typically, 5+ years of relevant industry experience for senior-level consideration; motivated early-career engineers with strong fundamentals and relevant project experience are also encouraged to apply.
- Strong proficiency in mechanical design and thermal simulation tools such as SolidWorks, FloTHERM, or equivalent CAD/FEA platforms.
- Deep understanding of thermal management, structural analysis, and high-density packaging design.
Preferred:
- Prior experience developing optoelectronic or high-speed electronic products for data center, AI, or high-performance computing applications.
- Experience with GD&T and tolerance stack-up analysis for complex assemblies.
- Familiarity with high-density, non-hermetic optical module packaging and design for manufacturability (DFM/DFA).
- Working knowledge of data analysis tools (e.g., JMP) and basic scripting or programming (VB, C, MATLAB, etc.) to support testing and automation.
Benefits
- Self-motivated and adaptable work environment.
- Willingness to travel internationally (up to 25%) to manufacturing and contract manufacturing sites.
