Lead communications for the Chief Product Officer and Product organization: advise executives, craft strategic narratives, develop executive and thought leadership content, drive organizational and employee communications, coordinate cross-functional messaging, measure impact, and leverage modern/AI-enabled tools to improve communications.

Design high-performance RF and analog circuit blocks from transistor to module level. Responsibilities include circuit architecture, simulation, optimization, layout supervision and verification, test plan preparation, reliability and yield assessment, bench-to-test correlation, silicon and application-level evaluation, and cross-functional communication and documentation.

Design and optimize high-performance analog and mixed-signal IC blocks at transistor, block, and module levels. Lead simulation, layout supervision, verification, test-plan preparation, product characterization, reliability and yield assessment, bench-to-test correlation, silicon and system-level evaluation, and cross-functional communication.

Serve as a strategic HR business partner to Product and Engineering leaders, advising on organizational design, workforce planning, people analytics, leadership effectiveness, change management, and ensuring consistent, high-quality HR delivery to drive business outcomes.

Manage U.S. federal and state tax compliance and external providers; review estimated payments, tax provisions, fixed assets, UNICAP, and R&D credits; support tax examinations; ensure SOX Section 404 compliance; lead tax transformation and automation initiatives; supervise and develop tax staff; and build cross-functional relationships.

Support and sustain ion beam milling and thin-film deposition processes for magnetic and non-magnetic films. Drive process development to reduce within-wafer and wafer-to-wafer variation, improve yield, transfer new tools to production, collaborate with R&D and equipment teams, and support 24/7 fab operations including data review, disposition, and failure analysis.

Hands-on IT internship supporting transformation of wafer manufacturing automation from legacy to modern platforms. Tasks include identifying automation opportunities, designing and testing automated solutions, collaborating with cross-functional teams and managed service providers, monitoring and optimizing automated processes, and producing end-user communications and training. Stay current on AI/ML and agent-driven workflows to inform platform roadmap.

Lead design and implementation of Workday HCM and Compensation solutions. Collaborate with HR and IT stakeholders, provide technical leadership, optimize Workday architecture, troubleshoot complex issues, and drive continuous improvement and adoption of best practices.

Lead introduction and qualification of new products and processes in HDD/semiconductor manufacturing. Optimize process routes, partner with design, QA, yield, failure analysis, and equipment teams to improve yield, cycle time, and product quality.
