• Strong strategic thinking, execution skills, and ability to work across global engineering teams
• Excellent communication skills with both technical and business stakeholders

Responsibilities

• Define and own the long-term vision, strategy, and roadmap for Micas data center switch platforms (e.g., 400G/800G/1.6T). Ensure alignment with business goals, AI and cloud workloads, and hyperscaler requirements. Track product performance, cost, and adoption, and adjust strategy as needed.
• Analyze data center trends including AI fabrics, scale-out networking, CPO adoption, liquid cooling, and power density growth. Translate customer needs from hyperscalers, CSPs, and OEM partners into clear product requirements and competitive positioning.
• Ensure strong competitiveness across performance, power efficiency, thermal design, reliability, and cost. Drive decisions around Broadcom ASIC selection, port configurations, optics/CPO integration, and system architecture.
• Own product direction for Co-Packaged Optics (CPO), including OE/RLM management, CMIS alignment, and port-to-engine mapping. Partner with hardware teams on liquid cooling, airflow fallback, power delivery, and thermal margin design for high-power ASIC systems.
• Ensure products meet industry standards and compliance (NEBS, IEC, CE, FCC, RoHS, Telcordia, reliability and stress testing). Work closely with validation teams to drive EVT/DVT/PVT readiness and field reliability.
