3. Complete relevant optoelectronics engineer training and internships

   Accountants spend an average of 6-12 months on post-employment, on-the-job training. New optoelectronics engineers learn the skills and techniques required for their job and employer during this time. The chart below shows how long it takes to gain competency as an optoelectronics engineer based on U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data and data from real optoelectronics engineer resumes.

4. Research optoelectronics engineer duties and responsibilities

   • Lead a group of 9 engineers responsible for technology development for handling electronic packages (computer CPU) during HVM.
   • Mask design, fabrication and testing of inp-base optoelectronic high speed and high power VCSELs
   • Conduct geotechnical and environmental subsurface investigations.
   • Develop optomechanical test station for mapping photoelectric sensor TX/RX overlap fields to determine lens defects and manufacturing problems.
