3+ years of people management experience, with demonstrated success in building and leading high-performing engineering teams.
Deep expertise in high-speed connectivity technologies (PAM4 DSP, Coherent DSP, or equivalent), with hands-on experience in silicon bring-up, yield optimization, and test strategy.
Proven success in managing cross-functional teams and mentoring engineers across regions in a global matrix organization.
Strong knowledge of yield analysis, quality management tools (GR&R, Cp, Cpk), and statistical data analysis.
Proficiency with ATE concepts (e.g., Advantest 93K, UltraFlex), test handlers, and wafer probers.
Familiarity with high-speed optical/electrical interface standards (e.g., 200G/400G/800G PAM4, 100G/400G Coherent).
Demonstrated ability to build effective teams, set goals, motivate, and coach team members.
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence across engineering, operations, and executive teams.
