What You’ll Be Doing:
- Work with photonics and packaging project teams to drive design, validation, process development, and production activities
- Oversee development of fixtures and testers to support design and manufacturing activities
- Drive closure on technical issues and development roadblocks to ensure projects meet top-level requirements and are delivered on time
- Develop/manage project schedules and effectively communicate program risks/status regularly to key stakeholders
- Serve as program interface for development activities with key suppliers
What You Have:
- Experience leading photonics, semiconductor laser diode, and/or transceiver development projects from design to production
- Demonstrated experience with semiconductor development workflows specific to silicon photonics tapeouts, wafer test, and module development
- Familiarity with photonic, and III-V fabrication processes and technologies
- Strong facilitation skills to lead efficient design requirements, status, and review meetings
- Good understanding of photonics module packaging development, including active alignment, flip chip, wire-bonding, etc
- Good understanding of validation and production test flows from wafer to module
