Silicon Engineering Manager

About the role

As a Silicon Engineering Manager you will be responsible for improving silicon-photonics yield and performance through data-driven analysis, cross-functional collaboration and proactive issue resolution. You will serve as the key interface between the R&D, Process and Production teams, ensuring efficient data flow, rapid issue identification and continuous process improvement across wafer fabrication, device testing, and packaging stages.
 
Dustphotonics, now part of Credo, develops cutting-edge technology in Silicon Photonics which is revolutionizing connectivity and communication in data centers. Silicon photonics is becoming a standard technology used for high performance systems, solving challenges of performance, integration, power and cost. This technology is growing rapidly also in other markets such as Healthcare, LIDARs and other sensors. We are looking to solve the difficult problems, in a smart and simple way, by thinking out of the box, leveraging the knowledge and know-how of the team members and work as team to create magic.
