If you like wild growth and working with happy, enthusiastic over-achievers, you'll enjoy your career with us! We are seeking a senior technical leader to define and drive the system architecture for next-generation optical pluggable modules and advanced photonic packaging solutions supporting 1.6T and beyond. This role spans both IMDD and coherent technologies, enabling the next wave of AI networking and hyperscale data center interconnects. Key Responsibilities Define and own the end-to-end system architecture for advanced optical modules, ensuring scalability, performance, and manufacturability across IMDD and coherent platforms. Lead cross-functional technical execution across link modeling, RF and optical design, electronics design, process development, reliability, and performance optimization. Partner closely with DSP, PIC, and EIC vendors—as well as customer architecture teams—to define system requirements, align technology roadmaps, and ensure seamless multi-component integration. Drive technical trade-off discussions and system-level design decisions that balance performance, cost, power, and manufacturability. Provide deep technical leadership across modeling, simulation, hardware bring-up, and validation to ensure best-in-class system performance.
