About The Position

We’re seeking a Director of Product and Test Engineering to lead the transition of our hardware platforms from validated prototypes to scalable, production-ready products. This role spans silicon (IVR). Secondarily, an applicability of skill sets will be applied towards system-level hardware targeting next generational power solutions. You'll own the path from lab to fab—including qualification, manufacturability, integration, and deployment—and work cross-functionally to drive programs from early pilot to volume rollout.

Requirements

• 10+ years in the semiconductor industry, with a proven track record in product development, hardware productization or manufacturing.
• Deep experience with both silicon (semiconductor) and system-level hardware.
• Proven track record of taking hardware from prototypes to volume production.
• Experience leading cross-functional hardware programs and driving product launches.
• Experience in semiconductor technology development, system integration, and technology scouting.
• Experience in prototyping, productization, and validation of semiconductor systems.
• Experience in Supply Chain Management and risk mitigation strategies.
• Expertise in scaling test infrastructure, supply chain coordination, and managing pilot to production ramp-ups.
• Strong leadership in building and scaling manufacturing readiness processes.
• Excellent cross-functional collaboration with engineering, supply chain, GTM (go-to-market), and customer integration teams.
• Ability to lead and communicate across internal teams and external partners.

Responsibilities

• Lead the product development and NPI lifecycle across both IVR and Power hardware platforms.
• Coordinate DFx, qualification, and test strategy for silicon and system-level builds.
• Build structured handoff processes from engineering to manufacturing: BOMs, specs, validation plans, and release documentation.
• Oversee early builds, customer samples, and production ramps across internal and external partners.
• Manage relationships with foundries, OSATs, board manufacturers, and contract manufacturers.
• Drive execution across manufacturing readiness, test infrastructure, and supply chain coordination.
• Ensure operational alignment with go-to-market, customer integration, and support teams.

Benefits

• Career track opportunity with potential for rapid advancement with strong performance as the firm grows.
• 100% employer paid, comprehensive health care including medical, dental, and vision for you and your family.
• Paid maternity and paternity for 14 weeks at employees' normal pay.
• Unlimited PTO, with management approval.
• Opportunities for professional development and continued learning.
• Optional 401K, FSA, and equity incentives available.
