lumilens - Technical Program Manager
Requirements
• 10+ years of experience leading complex hardware programs across silicon, optical systems, photonics, bring-up, validation, and product qualification. • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field. • Solid understanding of complex hardware development cycles, including silicon tapeout processes, optical subsystem development, integration planning, and cross-functional execution. • Experience with product bring-up, validation, and qualification flows across silicon and optical products; EVT/DVT and system integration experience is a plus. • Prior background in semiconductors (chip design, physical design, or test engineering preferred). • Ability to influence without authority and drive results in a matrixed, cross-functional environment. • Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a dynamic, fast-paced setting. • Proficiency with program management tools such as MS Project, Jira, Asana, Smartsheet, or equivalent. • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including technical presentations. • Strong knowledge of silicon photonics, optical communications, photonic integrated circuits (PICs), laser technologies, co-packaged optics, heterogeneous integration, and broader optical system architectures. • Experience supporting the development, qualification, and manufacturing ramp of 800G and 1.6T optical transceivers, optical engines, or high-speed interconnect solutions, including familiarity with optical networking architectures and AI infrastructure deployments. • Experience with advanced packaging technologies, including silicon photonics packaging, chiplets, co-packaged optics, and 2.5D/3D integration. • Understanding of optical system bring-up, validation, reliability testing, and production qualification processes. • Experience working with optical component suppliers, OSATs, contract manufacturers, and ecosystem partners throughout the product lifecycle. • Familiarity with yield improvement, manufacturing readiness, supply chain scaling, and high-volume production of optical products. • Experience establishing program management processes and operating frameworks within startup or high-growth technology environments.
Responsibilities
• Organize end-to-end planning, scheduling, and execution for Lumilens’ silicon, optical, photonics integration, advanced packaging, bring-up, validation, and systems development programs. • Partner with engineering leads and cross-functional teams to accurately estimate, prioritize, and sequence work while balancing quality, scope, and schedule. • Create, maintain, and execute detailed project plans covering scope, schedule, budget, and resources, ensuring alignment with business objectives and key stakeholders. • Proactively manage schedules, risks, issues, and quality; escalate effectively and provide clear visibility to leadership. • Facilitate productive recurring meetings, technical reviews, and operational checkpoints throughout the project lifecycle. • Deliver concise, targeted communications to management and stakeholders on project status, key milestones, risks, and decisions. • Provide hands-on program management, cross-functional coordination, and internal/external stakeholder communications to achieve outstanding results. • Own major program milestones across silicon and optical development, including tapeouts, optical module or subsystem bring-up, validation activities, and critical cross-functional deliverables in a dynamic, high-velocity setting. • Engage with vendors, customers, and external partners on program-related activities as required.
