Your Responsibilities:

• Serve as the primary liaison between internal teams and subcontract manufacturers, ensuring alignment across engineering, quality, operations, and supply chain objectives.
• Drive supplier performance focusing on delivery, quality, responsiveness, and process control.
• Monitor and manage production schedules, work-in-progress (WIP), manufacturing readiness, and throughput to support effective scaling of production.
• Facilitate the ramp-up of manufacturing from prototype to volume production while coordinating the resolution of production issues and yield excursions.
• Support critical photonics manufacturing processes including optical alignment, fiber attachment, laser module assembly, active alignment, optical testing, and cleanroom operations.
• Lead initiatives for containment and corrective actions related to quality issues and assist with root cause investigations.
• Oversee the implementation of engineering changes and New Product Introduction (NPI) activities, ensuring seamless manufacturing transitions and process validations.
• Identify supply chain risks and work collaboratively on recovery, contingency, and inventory management plans.
• Provide regular reports on production status, quality metrics, yield, capacity, and supplier performance.

• Your Profile:

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Physics, Optics, Photonics, Manufacturing, or a related field.
• A minimum of 5 years of experience in photonics, optics, semiconductor, precision manufacturing, or electronics manufacturing.
• Proven experience working with contract manufacturers (CM), joint development manufacturers (JDM), or original design manufacturers (ODM).
• Strong understanding of manufacturing scale-up, process control, and supplier management.
• Excellent technical problem-solving, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
• Fluent in English, both written and spoken.
• Preferred: Experience in InP photonics, laser packaging, fiber optics, optical transceivers, wafer-level photonics, or semiconductor packaging is highly desirable.
• Familiarity with cleanroom manufacturing environments and methodologies such as SPC, Six Sigma, Lean Manufacturing, 8D/RCCA, and ISO 9001.

• The Offer:

• An opportunity to lead and manage complex photonics projects in a fast-paced and dynamic work environment.
• A collaborative role that allows for effective cross-functional and international teamwork, enhancing your professional network and personal development.
• A competitive compensation package, including benefits that support your health and well-being.
• The chance to work with cutting-edge technology in a rapidly advancing field, contributing to significant innovations in photonic products and semiconductor manufacturing.
• A career path with prospects for advancement in a company that values innovation, quality, and excellence in production.
