TL;DR · Forward Product Engineering Lead

The Forward Product Engineering Lead joins the Networking Product Engineering team to serve as the primary US-based interface between Product Engineering and Operations. This role focuses on strengthening visibility and alignment as networking products transition from development into high-volume manufacturing. You will translate complex technical engineering data into actionable insights for planning, supply chain, and manufacturing teams while managing product health, yield performance, and risk assessments. As a first responder during operational crises, you will coordinate expert engagement and drive structured communication across global teams. The role requires expertise in the semiconductor lifecycle, including silicon development, test operations, and NPI-to-MP transitions. Candidates must possess deep knowledge of networking, datacenter, AI, or ASIC products. Essential skills include executive communication, yield management, and the ability to bridge technical engineering requirements with manufacturing and planning impacts.

What you'll do

  • Serve as the primary liaison between engineering teams in Israel and operations teams in the US.
  • Translate complex technical engineering data into actionable insights for planning and supply chain partners.
  • Act as the first responder for product-related operational crises by coordinating expert engagement and communication.
  • Provide continuous updates on product health, manufacturing readiness, yield performance, and risk assessments.
  • Identify and address operational concerns early in the development cycle before they impact production.
  • Manage the transition of products from development into high-volume manufacturing and mass production.
  • Assess the operational impacts resulting from technical decisions and engineering changes.
  • Drive transparency and accountability across global teams to ensure real-time awareness of project status.

What we're looking for

  • BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or a related field.
  • 12+ years of experience in semiconductor product engineering, manufacturing, process engineering, or operations.
  • Deep understanding of the semiconductor lifecycle from silicon development through volume manufacturing.
  • Experience leading complex technical issues and driving multi-functional resolution.
  • Strong executive communication and presentation skills.
  • Direct experience with networking, datacenter, AI, ASIC, or high-performance semiconductor products.
  • Strong understanding of yield management, test operations, manufacturing flows, and NPI-to-MP transitions.
  • Experience as a technical liaison between engineering and operations.
