Sr. Staff Manager, Product Engineering - Santa Clara, CA, United States
$143,560 - $215,000 USD yearly
Originally posted 15 September 2026 by the employer — open 0 days.
This role focuses on PAM4 DSP and Coherent DSP technology for datacenter connectivity solutions.
About the role
This role leads a team of product engineers responsible for the productization of datacenter connectivity solutions. You will drive new product introduction (NPI) for PAM4 DSP and Coherent DSP technology.
What you'll do
- Lead, mentor, and develop a team of product engineers across multiple sites and regions.
- Oversee multiple concurrent NPI programs for high-speed datacenter connectivity products, including silicon bring-up, DFT validation, and test methodology development.
- Drive yield characterization, root cause analysis, and correlation across bench, wafer sort, and final test.
- Champion continuous improvement initiatives in test infrastructure, data analytics, and product engineering best practices.
- Partner with operations and supply chain to scale production capacity and improve manufacturing efficiency.
What you'll need
- M.S. or Ph.D. in Electrical/Electronics Engineering or a related field.
- 10+ years of experience in the semiconductor industry, with a strong track record in product engineering and end-to-end NPI workflow.
- 3+ years of people management experience in building and leading engineering teams.
- Deep expertise in high-speed connectivity technologies (PAM4 DSP, Coherent DSP, or equivalent), with hands-on experience in silicon bring-up, yield optimization, and test strategy.
- Strong knowledge of yield analysis, quality management tools (GR&R, Cp, Cpk), and statistical data analysis.
- Proficiency with ATE concepts (e.g., Advantest 93K, UltraFlex), test handlers, and wafer probers.
Nice to have
- Experience with advanced technology nodes (10nm and below).
- Familiarity with high-speed optical/electrical interface standards (e.g., 200G/400G/800G PAM4, 100G/400G Coherent).
