TL;DR · Manager- Technical program management; III-V Photonics

The Manager- Technical program management; III-V Photonics leads a team of III-V epitaxy and device experts within the Product Operations department. This role involves managing the full lifecycle of semiconductor device processes, from early concept and vendor selection to mass production readiness. Key responsibilities include driving yield improvements through data analysis, ensuring design for manufacturing, and managing quality relationships with image sensor vendors. The position requires deep technical knowledge of III-V epitaxy, semiconductor processes like etch and lithography, and optical technologies such as LEDs and photodetectors. Candidates must perform root cause analysis, monitor manufacturing metrics like CpK and FMEA, and coordinate with module integrators. The work focuses on solving complex manufacturing and quality issues for III-V semiconductor devices across various product lines.

What you'll do

  • Lead a team of III-V epitaxy and device experts to support product development and mass production.
  • Drive yield improvements through rigorous data analysis and semiconductor process development.
  • Ensure products are designed for manufacturing (DFM) during the initial concept phase.
  • Influence vendor selection and approve process flows, quality control plans, and equipment lists.
  • Manage new process introductions and oversee mass production readiness for device manufacturers.
  • Resolve device-related quality issues across wafer fab, back-end processing, and module integration.
  • Monitor and report manufacturing metrics like CpK and FMEA while driving continuous improvement programs.
  • Manage quality relationships with image sensor vendors through regular audits and face-to-face reviews.

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years of experience in people management.
  • 10+ years of relevant experience in III-V technologies, Process Integration, Process Engineering, Product Engineering, and/or Quality Engineering.
  • Strong technical understanding of III-V epitaxy and semiconductor devices, including problem solving and root cause analysis.
  • Good working knowledge of epitaxial growth techniques, semiconductor devices, and optical semiconductor technologies like LEDs and PDs.
  • Understanding of semiconductor processes including etch, litho, wafer test, yield, wafer fab process integration, back-end issues, and AOI.
  • Ability to independently drive projects and accomplish tasks on time with regular report outs to leadership.
  • Interpersonal skills of leadership, communication, teamwork, project management, and influencing.
  • Familiarity with quality systems and quality control (preferred).
