Electrical Engineer, New Product Introduction/Mfg (Early Career)

ANELLO Photonics http://www.anellophotonics.com is a leading-edge technology company based in Santa Clara, CA. The company has developed integrated photonic system-on-chip technology for next generation navigation. ANELLO's SIPHOG™ gyroscope is based on its patented photonic integrated circuit technology. The result is a product that is higher performance, much smaller size and weight, at a fraction of the cost of traditional gyros used in industrial, aerospace and military applications. It enables reliable and accurate navigation and positioning in GPS-Denied environments across autonomous applications for Land, Air and Sea. ANELLO has a growing list of customers through design wins in Commercial and Defense.
