Full Job Description
The Technical Program Manager, RF & silicon photonics, acts as the main technical interface to ST's foundry customers in Americas for Silicon Photonics, SiGe BiCMOS and other related process technologies.

The successful candidate will support programs for assigned customers designing products using ST's innovative technologies. The candidate will collaborate with customers' design and operations teams along with ST's internal marketing, sales, business unit, foundry and central R&D teams.

This is an excellent opportunity for engineers with background and experience in design or packaging of RF and/or photonic IC(s) to make an impact in a customer-facing and highly visible facing role.

Job Responsibilities

Provide training and on-boarding to ramp-up up foundry customers' design teams on ST process platforms
  • Provide timely and effective support to technical issues or customer questions regarding ST PDK and IP/library deliveries for simulation, layout, extraction, reliability.
  • Enhance PDK documentation, develop application notes and best practices to be shared with customer(s) and internal teams.
  • Lead regular (Weekly, bi-weekly, quarterly) technical calls with customer and internal teams to ensure smooth execution of assigned design programs from inception to product tape-out, delivery of engineering samples and production ramp-up.
  • Participate in definition of photonic/electronic reference designs, proof-of-concept board/system builds.
  • Stay updated with industry trends and advancements in semiconductor/photonics technology to incorporate best practices into PDK/IP/libraries development.

Required Qualifications

We are looking for candidates who understand the intersection of light and silicon with product development or applications expertise in at least one of the following:
  • Silicon Photonics (SiPh): Direct experience with PIC (Photonic Integrated Circuit) design, waveguide theory, and integrated lasers/modulators.
  • High-Speed RF / SiGe BiCMOS: Expertise in 100G/200G+ per-lane electrical interfaces, TIAs, and drivers. Understanding of SiGe HBT physics for ultra-high-speed signaling.
  • CMOS Image Sensor (CIS) R&D: We strongly value candidates from a CIS background. Your experience with pixel-level nano photonics, complex optical stacks, and non-Manhattan layouts translates effectively to the challenges of managing light in silicon waveguides.
  • Advanced packaging: Experience in simulation, design of advanced packaging/testing of electro-optics products

Additional Qualifications
  • BSEE, MSEE with 6+ years of RF or Silicon photonics experience in design, process development or applications engineering.
  • Experience in program management of customer programs across multiple geographies and functions leading to multiple production tape-outs, engineering validation and production ramp-up.

At STMicroelectronics, base salary is one part of our total compensation package and is determined within a range depending on your skills, qualifications, experience, and location.

The base annual salary range for this role is between $151,200 to $ 189,000 USD.
