Optical - Director (+), Optical Product Development (OPD)

Define optical product strategy centered on die-level co-packaging of external optical components with Eliyan's silicon.

Own the optical component selection and qualification process (VCSELs, PDs, lenses, fiber connectors), evaluating vendors against system performance and assembly compatibility requirements.

Drive assembly-aware optical product specifications — accounting for flip-chip tolerances, solder reflow constraints, alignment accuracy, and packaging design rules.

Engage silicon process and design teams on equal footing, translating optical requirements into process-compatible constraints and vice versa.

Navigate optical-electrical co-design tradeoffs within foundry process boundaries (e.g., TSMC, GlobalFoundries, or equivalent).

Serve as the primary interface between optical and silicon teams (analog/digital), ensuring bidirectional feed-in/feedback between optical integration requirements and silicon design.

Partner with Marketing to define product positioning, customer-facing optical specifications, and roadmap priorities.
