Technical Project Manager - Silicon Operations

About the role

Lumilens builds the photonics infrastructure behind AI supercomputing, from chip-to-chip optical interconnects to scalable photonic engines. This is a senior, high-impact role in its Silicon Operations team, driving end-to-end execution of process development and manufacturing readiness programs across photonics, advanced packaging, optical module assembly and external manufacturing partners. The Technical Project Manager works with internal engineering teams, OSAT partners, quality and operations to deliver milestones from development and DOE through qualification, pilot build and high-volume manufacturing release.

Key responsibilities

• Work with internal and external stakeholders to ensure end-to-end process FMEA, design for manufacturing and controllability.
• Manage the overall schedule for process development, DOE, qualification, pilot runs and release to high volume manufacturing.
• Work with process engineers on process requirements, delivery and performance.
• Work with OSAT QA so the site and process meet quality and reliability requirements, including line and process audits, process control, change control and MRB.

Required profile

• Bachelor's degree or above in mechanical, electrical/electronic, mechatronics, materials science, manufacturing engineering or a related discipline; advanced degree a plus.
• 8+ years of hands-on process engineering experience in semiconductor packaging, optoelectronics, optical transceiver/module assembly, microelectronics, SMT or precision automation, preferably in a high-volume environment.
• Proven experience owning process development from concept through qualification, pilot build, production release and sustained high-volume ramp.
• Ability to work with cross-functional teams and lead technical discussions under schedule and ramp-up pressure.

Required skills

• Strong technical depth in processes such as die attach/bond, wire bond, active optical alignment, optical module assembly, dispensing, curing, bonding or line integration.
• Process FMEA, DFM/DFx, control plans, change control, MRB and process audits.
• DOE, SPC, Cpk, yield analysis, defect Pareto, root-cause failure analysis and 8D or DMAIC.
• Defining process windows, equipment requirements, recipes, SOPs, work instructions, qualification plans and production control strategies.

What we offer

• Competitive salary and benefits.
• Opportunities for career advancement.
• A collaborative, innovative work environment with a world-class team.
