As a Subsea Cabling Development Engineer at Optics11, you are responsible for the development and engineering realization of the OptiBarrier cabling infrastructure subsystem. Your primary objective is to develop robust engineering solutions that ensure the integrity, performance, and long-term reliability of the complete fiber-optic link connecting the underwater sensing system to the dry-end processing unit.
The cabling infrastructure subsystem comprises the complete optical path from the hydrophone interfaces and subsea junction box through the long-haul subsea cable to the dry-end interface, including optical connectors, splices, strain relief systems, cable protection, and mechanical interfaces. You translate allocated product and subsystem requirements into technical solutions that support reliable optical performance, manufacturability, offshore installation, and long-term subsea operation.
You work closely with Product System Engineering, Product Integration, Verification & Validation, Lifecycle Engineering, manufacturing partners, and specialized suppliers to ensure the subsystem is successfully developed and realized as part of the overall product.
What you'll do:
Own the development of the OptiBarrier fiber-optic cabling infrastructure throughout the product lifecycle, from concept to deployment.
Design robust subsea fiber-optic cable solutions, including cable routing, connectors, splices, junction box interfaces, strain relief systems, and mechanical interfaces.
Translate product requirements into reliable subsystem designs that meet optical, mechanical, environmental, installation, and lifecycle requirements.
Develop prototypes, perform testing, and analyze optical and mechanical performance to continuously improve reliability, manufacturability, and…
