Cisco, Carlsbad, California, United States, 92002

Save Job

MEMS Technical Program Manager, Technical Leader Work as part of a world class photonics team on MEMS packaging of optical components and their integration into Cisco’s volume transceiver products.

Cisco has developed a unique high‑volume laser micro‑package platform (LaMP) with MEMS‑wafer fabrication at a Cisco supplier, specialized assembly and test conducted at in‑house tools and processes that provide a unique opportunity for improvements spanning from design to volume production.

This multi‑disciplinary position requires an in‑depth understanding of MEMS fabrication techniques (bulk micro‑machining) as well as more specialized methods for assembly and test of packaged optical components. The ideal candidate will have MEMS production experience for photonic or sensor applications, familiarity with general semiconductor wafer processing processes and tools, and be proficient with advanced data analysis techniques.

Candidates are expected to work closely with Cisco’s suppliers as well as Cisco’s packaging and test teams to maintain and improve yields, performance, and reliability of critical photonics components by applying structured problem‑solving techniques and leveraging advanced data collection methods.

Your Impact

In‑depth monitoring of MEMS supplier production performance and quality

Support suppliers in setting up adequate production monitoring, quality control, problem‑solving, and continuous improvement practices

Conduct failure analysis and physical characterization to root cause process and device failure modes

Lead teams in resolving yield and defectivity issues in the MEMS and LaMP assembly lines

Collaborate with Cisco experts on yield and performance improvement programs and structure supplier improvement projects to achieve these goals

Problem‑solve critical technical issues during LaMP production, NPI, and early production yield ramp phases

Drive continuous improvement planning and implementation including validation

Manage technical aspects of the change‑control process with suppliers and internal stakeholders

Ensure learnings are documented in relevant engineering documentation and institutional knowledge is expanded across Cisco teams

Minimum Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree + 12 years of related experience, or Master’s degree + 8 years of related experience, or PhD + 5 years of related experience.

Preferred experience in MEMS fabrication, semiconductor manufacturing, optical packaging and fiber optic components, or electronic assembly and packaging.

Position requires U.S./Canada work authorization. Cisco is an equal opportunity employer.
