Technical Program Manager (Semiconductor focus)
Originally posted October 26, 2026 by the employer.
About the role
As a Technical Program Manager at Volantis Semiconductor, you will own programs across wafer-scale photonic systems, working embedded with engineering teams from packaging and assembly to silicon and system bring-up.
What you'll do
- Own program schedules, technical risks, and handoffs across packaging, assembly, silicon, and system bring-up teams.
- Work directly in technical details alongside engineering teams rather than purely tracking status.
- Build executable plans and schedules that engineering teams actively use to drive programs to completion.
- Review technical specifications closely to identify gaps, architectural conflicts, and unassigned ownership.
- Manage execution and deliverables with external partners, including foundries, OSATs, and IP or design-services vendors.
What you'll need
- 8+ years of experience in semiconductor or hardware development as an engineer, program manager, or both, delivering programs from development to working hardware.
- Deep working knowledge of advanced packaging and assembly, or ASIC/SoC and system hardware.
- Experience managing external partners such as foundries, OSATs, and IP or design-services vendors.
- Demonstrated ability to read specifications closely to resolve technical gaps and conflicts.
Nice to have
- Advanced packaging experience (2.5D/3D, chiplet, flip chip), including complex multi-die packages.
- Experience with chip-on-wafer (CoW) assembly, including mechanical stress and thermal effects.
- Background in photonic, optoelectronic, or heterogeneous-material assemblies.
- Experience with reliability qualification, failure analysis, test vehicles, and DOEs.
- Experience with advanced-node ASIC/SoC tape-outs and working with third-party IP or design-services partners.
- Experience in multi-die, chiplet, or MCM programs, including chip-package co-design.
- Experience delivering system hardware (boards, power, thermal, mechanical) through bring-up.
- Exposure to optical I/O or high-speed SerDes programs.
- Experience with data-center or OCP-style hardware.
- Experience with Jira and Confluence.
