Teams at Lumentum

Leads global product engineering strategy and execution across multiple InP wafer fabs. Oversees new product introduction, manufacturing qualification, production ramp, sustaining engineering, yield and reliability improvement, test strategy, cost reduction, fab-to-fab transfers, and technical governance. Builds engineering organizations, standardizes processes and metrics, manages cross-functional customer and quality escalations, and provides executive oversight of product risks, capacity, investments, and manufacturing performance.

Designs GaAs-based VCSEL devices and technology platforms, including epitaxial structures, mask layouts, fabrication flows, and emitter designs. Characterizes laser devices, analyzes performance data, applies device physics and modeling, and improves designs. Coordinates with internal teams and contract manufacturers to transition designs and processes into manufacturing and product release, while generating intellectual property.

Support UHP and HPL laser backend assembly, testing, AOI equipment bring-up, production ramp, yield improvement, and cost reduction. Analyze manufacturing and test data to identify root causes, correlate process and product parameters, detect fab excursions, perform failure analysis and material disposition, and coordinate with R&D, product engineering, process integration, and contract manufacturers on NPI, sustaining products, and field failures.
