Position: Mechanical Engineer
Department: Product Development

About the Position
KAIAM is looking for an entry level talented
Mechanical Engineer with strong analytical and
modeling skills to assist in the development of
micromechanical packaging, assembly components,
and manufacturing tools. In this role, you will
use your knowledge to design silicon MEMS-based
optical packages and modify manufacturing
stations and tools supporting the assembly and
test of cutting edge hybrid fiber optical products.
The qualified individuals should show deep
understanding of the fundamentals of mechanical
engineering, be familiar with electronics and
control loops, and comfortable working with complex manufacturing equipment.

Minimum Requirements
· BS, MS Degree, including project based
courses. Experience in related fields is
beneficial and would lead to increased scope and responsibility.
· Proven ability to use drafting and
simulation software, such as SolidWorks and Ansys.
· Strong teamwork, verbal and written
communication skills, design review and documentation practices

About KAIAM
KAIAM develops, manufactures, and markets planar
lightwave circuits, optical subassemblies,
modules, and transceivers for various
applications in the fiber optics communications
industry. The focus of the company is photonic
integrated circuits using hybrid optical
integration for dense multi-lane interconnects.
The applications for such modules range from
short reach interconnects for computer networks
to long distance DWDM systems. Headquartered in
Newark California, the company operates a
manufacturing facility in the UK (previously Kymata).
Given the increasing demands fueled by the growth
of streaming video, mobile applications, and data
centers, new approaches are needed to increase
density, bandwidth and lower the power
consumption. Traditional architectures that use
discrete individual packages of lasers and
detectors and provide a single lane of data in
each connection are no longer adequate and cannot
provide the connectivity needed at nearly every length scale.

In early 2009, KAIAM Corporation was founded to
address the need for increased parallelism in
fiber optic networks. The key technology is
hybrid integration, where standard and mature
electronic manufacturing tools can be used to
assemble complex hybrid optical integrated
circuits for various applications. The company
uses silicon micromechanical techniques to solve
the challenging step of optical alignment between
these components. The company is funded by a mix
of venture capital investment and contracts with
leading companies in the industry to develop custom products.
