Experience working with external vendors, contract manufacturers, or foundries is required, along with exposure to hardware development phases.

Skills: This role requires the ability to coordinate execution across multiple engineering teams and translate commitments into actionable schedules. Strong written and verbal communication skills, analytical and problem-solving abilities, and comfort operating in fast-paced environments are necessary.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting semiconductor programs across foundry, OSAT, or silicon vendor interfaces.
• Familiarity with display silicon, uLED, or related electro-optical technologies.
• Experience managing programs with multiple external vendors and working across timezones with international partners.
