Lead strategic and operational management of a new Indium Phosphide wafer fab, overseeing startup, commissioning, production ramp, and high-volume manufacturing. Drive operational excellence via Lean/Six Sigma, SPC, DOE, and yield improvement, ensure quality and ISO compliance, manage cross-functional teams, and report production performance to executive leadership.

Lead cross-functional NPI programs for optical products: manage schedules, materials, qualification testing, and early factory ramp. Coordinate R&D, design, operations, supply chain, and marketing; track status, resolve risks and resource constraints, and deliver qualified products to global operations. Requires stakeholder communication and occasional travel for product transfer and issue resolution.

Lead optical design activities: develop and validate optical/electro-optical products, support customers, manage custom projects, standardize procedures, perform risk assessments, mentor staff, and transfer prototypes to production.

Lead development and optimization of single-crystal oxide Czochralski growth processes, define material and equipment specifications, design and procure furnaces, author SOPs and engineering drawings, support installation and qualification, troubleshoot growth and equipment issues, perform crystal characterization, and ensure safety and quality compliance.

Lead quality engineering on the manufacturing floor: investigate issues, implement SPC and statistical methods, lead root-cause investigations, develop PFMEAs/control plans/sampling plans, qualify materials and suppliers, support NPI and scale-up, and maintain ISO-based QMS compliance.

Design and develop LabVIEW and Python applications for assembly, alignment, calibration, and testing of laser systems; simulate/program robot arms; deploy vision and sensor metrology; collect/store test data; create test plans, schedules, cost estimates; support legacy software and collaborate across engineering teams to deliver projects on schedule.

Lead technical assessment and incubation of advanced photonics technologies (light sources, heterogeneous integration, detectors, and optical I/O). Develop modeling, roadmaps, partner evaluations, and technical recommendations; coordinate cross-functional R&D and represent the company externally to transition concepts toward prototypes and projects.

Provide senior technical leadership for optical circuit switching and fiber-optic systems across R&D, validation, and production. Drive system architecture, test and automation strategy, root cause analysis, reliability support, and cross-functional execution to enable NPI and scale to volume manufacturing.

The role involves optimizing reactive magnetron sputtering processes, improving product quality, and developing manufacturing tools while collaborating with engineering and manufacturing teams.

The Vice President of R&D Engineering oversees engineering leadership, manages R&D projects, collaborates with customers, mentors staff, and ensures compliance with industry standards.

Lead RF/microwave and high-speed mixed-signal hardware architecture for optical transceivers, design PCBAs, develop validation plans, and mentor engineers.

The R&D Engineer will prototype with advanced composite materials, program equipment, improve machining methods, and transfer products to manufacturing.

The Senior Principal Process Engineer will manage optical component sourcing, prototype building, product qualification, and support manufacturing processes while emphasizing innovative solutions and effective communication.

The Equipment Engineer specializes in wet process equipment, ensuring safe operations and maintenance, developing preventive programs, leading technicians, and supporting process improvements across the facility.

Oversee product line management, communicate with clients, develop product roadmaps, manage P&L, and drive market opportunities and cost reductions.

The role focuses on MLOps for semiconductor laser design, involving model development, validation, deployment, and collaboration with engineering teams. Candidates should have AI/ML expertise and a background in photonics or semiconductor manufacturing.

The role involves software architecture, design, development, and testing for embedded systems in defense applications, requiring collaboration with cross-disciplinary engineering teams.

Design and simulate VCSEL and photonic devices, coordinate fabrication processes, perform testing and characterization, and collaborate with various teams in an R&D environment.

The Process Integration Engineer manages the development of new products and processes, ensuring delivery timelines while supervising cross-functional teams and conducting failure analysis.

The Senior Financial Analyst will oversee financial processes, develop insights, assist in forecasting and budgeting, and support global finance teams with financial reporting and analysis.
