Senior SiPh Product Development Engineer

Lead the development and industrialization of next-generation silicon photonics and high-speed optical products from concept through high-volume manufacturing. Drive technical execution, manufacturing readiness, and cross-functional decision-making to deliver products that meet performance, quality, cost, and schedule objectives.

• Lead matrixed teams across design, fab, assembly, test, quality, and operations to define and execute the product Plan of Record (POR).
• Drive end-to-end development of Photonic ICs (PICs), Electronic ICs (EICs), and manufacturing process technologies from concept through production ramp.
• Balance technical tradeoffs, business priorities, cost, schedule, and risk to enable informed decision-making and successful product execution.
• Identify and mitigate technical and execution risks through contingency planning and cross-functional alignment.
• Drive manufacturing readiness, including wafer-start planning, qualification strategy, capacity analysis, customer sampling, and assembly/test site certification.
• Serve as the primary interface to stakeholders and leadership, providing clear communication of product status, risks, and recommendations.
• Build strong partnerships across organizations to accelerate execution and deliver business results.
• Interface with fab, optical design, hardware, firmware, IC design, test, operations, and quality teams to ensure successful product development and manufacturing ramp.

You should demonstrate the following professional traits to be successful:
• Strong collaborative leadership to effectively guide cross-functional, matrixed engineering and operational teams.
• Analytical decision-making to balance complex technical tradeoffs with business priorities, costs, and schedule constraints.
• Proactive communication and stakeholder management to clearly convey product status, risks, and recommendations to leadership.
