Product Manager

We are hiring on behalf of a client, a global MNC:

Job Overview

The Product Manager for Silicon Photonics & KGD Wafer Test Solutions owns the strategic roadmap, product definition, and market success of automated wafer-level test systems. This role bridges engineering, marketing, and sales to deliver high-throughput, high accuracy electro-optical testing equipment, software, and instrumentation. The ultimate objective is providing the market with premium Known Good Die (KGD) screening systems essential for AI hardware, co-packaged optics (CPO), and advanced semiconductor packaging (e.g., CoWoS).

Key Responsibilities

1) Strategy & Product Lifecycle Management

• Define the product vision, strategy, and long-term roadmap for Silicon Photonics (SiPh) wafer probers, optical instrumentation, or specialized ATE test software.

• Author comprehensive Market Requirement Documents (MRD) and Product Requirement Documents (PRD) to translate market trends, custom client needs, and technical benchmarks into clear engineering goals.

• Manage lifecycle profitability, including feature prioritization, pricing models, gross margins, and product End-of-Life (EOL) strategies.

2) Technical & Customer Engagement

• Collate customer needs (Voice of Customer) by engaging closely with global semiconductor logic foundries, OSATs, and fabless design teams.

• Collaborate with engineering across optical, electrical, software, and mechanical disciplines to deliver sub-micron active alignment and multi-site probing capabilities.

• Validate performance metrics such as Gauge Repeatability & Reproducibility (GR&R), test cycle times, and throughput limits to ensure industry competitiveness.

3) Market Positioning & Enablement

• Analyse competitor landscapes to establish clear, defensible differentiation for our SiPh/KGD test platform.

• Develop go-to-market strategies, value propositions, product collateral, and whitepapers to equip global sales and field-application engineering teams.

• Represent the organization as a subject matter expert at key industry tech conferences, standardization committees, and executive customer reviews.

Required Skills and Qualifications

1) Education

• Degree requirement: Bachelor's degree in Physics, Electrical/Optical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related technical discipline. An MBA or advanced degree (Master's) is highly preferred.

2) Core Experience

• 8+ years of total experience in the semiconductor industry, with at least 2+ years in Product Management, Product Marketing, or technical account management.

• Direct exposure to wafer-level probing, semiconductor test equipment (ATE), or active/passive optical testing environments.

3) Skills & Knowledge

• Technical Domain: Strong familiarity with Silicon Photonics architectures (waveguides, grating vs. edge couplers, modulators) and advanced multi-die packaging test workflows.

• Business Acumen: Proven track record in product life cycle management, pricing strategies, market sizing (TAM/SAM estimation), and building business cases.

• Communication: Exceptional cross-functional leadership skills with the ability to clearly translate deep optoelectronic concepts into value-driven business language.

Preferred Qualifications

• Deep understanding of testing requirements for advanced packaging nodes (e.g., HBM, CoWoS, TSVs).

• International experience managing products deployed across global fabs (US, Taiwan, Korea, Europe).

• Prior experience transitioning from an engineering/technical role into a commercial product management position.
