TL;DR · Forward Product Engineering Lead

The Forward Product Engineering Lead joins the Networking Product Engineering team as a technical leader serving as the primary 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 deep technical engineering information into actionable operational insights, manage product health, monitor yield performance, and lead risk assessments. Key responsibilities include serving as the first responder for operational crises, coordinating engineering experts, and supporting transitions from development to mass production. The role requires expertise in the semiconductor lifecycle, including silicon development, manufacturing flows, and NPI-to-MP transitions. Required skills include experience with networking, datacenter, AI, or ASIC products, along with proficiency in yield management, test operations, and multi-functional technical issue resolution.

What you'll do

  • Serve as the primary liaison between engineering teams in Israel and operations teams in the US.
  • Translate deep technical engineering information into actionable insights for operations, planning, and supply chain teams.
  • Provide ongoing updates on product health, manufacturing readiness, yield performance, and risk assessments.
  • Act as the first responder for product-related operational crises by coordinating engineering experts and driving communication.
  • Support product transitions from development into high-volume manufacturing by monitoring yield trends and readiness landmarks.
  • Assess the operational impacts of technical decisions and engineering changes.
  • Participate in operational reviews, readiness forums, planning meetings, and crisis war rooms.
  • Establish operating mechanisms to ensure operational concerns are surfaced and addressed early.

What we're looking for

  • BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
  • 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.
