About the Job

Requirements

  • At least 8 years of experience in semiconductor or hardware development, as an engineer, a program manager, or both, including programs taken from development to working hardware.
  • Deep working knowledge of at least one of advanced packaging and assembly, or ASIC/SoC and system hardware.
  • Ability to read specifications closely and identify gaps, conflicts, and missing owners.
  • Experience running work with external partners such as foundries, OSATs, IP vendors, or design-services vendors.

Responsibilities

  • Own a program across wafer-scale photonic systems, working embedded with the engineering team responsible for most of it, from packaging and assembly to silicon and system bring-up.
  • Own the schedule, risks, and handoffs between teams, and work through technical details alongside engineers.
  • Build plans and schedules that engineers use, and drive the work through to completion.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience with advanced packaging (2.5D/3D, chiplet, or flip chip), including complex multi-die packages.
  • Experience with chip-on-wafer (CoW) assembly, including mechanical stress and thermal effects.
  • Experience with photonic, optoelectronic, or other heterogeneous-material assemblies.
  • Experience with reliability qualification, failure analysis, test vehicles, and design of experiments (DOEs).
  • Experience with advanced-node ASIC/SoC tape-outs and work with third-party IP or design-services partners.
  • Experience with multi-die, chiplet, or MCM programs, including chip-package co-design.
  • Experience with system hardware (boards, power, thermal, and mechanical) through bring-up.
  • Experience with optical I/O or high-speed SerDes programs.
  • Experience with data-center or OCP-style hardware.
  • Experience with Jira and Confluence.

About the Company

Volantis Semiconductor

Designs photonic AI compute hardware

Volantis Semiconductor designs photonic computing hardware for AI workloads, centered on the Volantis Photonic Motherboard. Its technology directly modulates low-cost VCSELs and densely parallel optical waveguides directly on the chip to replace electrical interconnects, enabling a chip-scale package with massive bandwidth and energy efficiency. This approach differs from traditional silicon photonics by wafer-scale integration and laser-based optics, focusing on scalable interconnect bandwidth and compute efficiency rather than simply adding more silicon cores. The company aims to deliver faster, cheaper AI compute with reduced energy use, with pre-orders expected in early 2026 as it engages early customers.
