Senior Director – High-Speed Silicon & Photonics Systems

Competitive base salary bonus equity full benefits package

We are looking for a seasoned engineering leader to drive the development of advanced semiconductor solutions powering next-generation high-speed networking. This role is responsible for leading cross-functional teams across digital, analog, and photonics disciplines, delivering complex mixed-signal silicon from concept through production.

Core Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end silicon development, from architectural definition through RTL, physical implementation, sign-off, and final GDSII handoff
• Direct the design of high-speed analog building blocks, including drivers, TIAs, and SerDes architectures supporting both NRZ and PAM4
• Partner closely with photonics teams to ensure seamless electrical-optical co-design and integration
• Lead post-silicon phases such as validation, ATE planning, and full system bring-up
• Recruit, develop, and scale high-performing engineering teams while implementing effective development methodologies
• Oversee external partnerships (IP vendors, suppliers) and manage large-scale program budgets

Ideal Background

• 15 years in semiconductor engineering, with a minimum of 5 years in a leadership role
• Proven success delivering multiple tape-outs, particularly in high-speed analog for optical communications or networking applications
• Deep expertise in SerDes design and experience working at advanced CMOS nodes (7nm or below)
• Strong familiarity with industry-standard tools such as Synopsys (digital design), Cadence Innovus/Tempus (physical design), and Cadence Virtuoso/Spectre (analog design)
• Demonstrated ability to lead large, multidisciplinary teams and execute complex silicon programs

What’s on Offer

• Highly competitive compensation package including bonus and equity
• A senior leadership position with significant influence on cutting-edge networking and compute technologies
• The opportunity to build and lead exceptional teams at the forefront of silicon and photonics innovation
