Here, your expertise in SoC and processor architecture becomes the key to turning innovation into impact. What you bring Bachelor’s or Master’s in Electronics Engineering (or related field). 10+ years of customer-facing experience in the semiconductor or related high-tech industry. Expertise in diffractive optics and holography for display applications (SLM, HPU, optical engines) and/or deep knowledge of SoC and processor architecture, embedded systems, hardware/software integration, and system-level design. Hands-on experience in prototyping, alignment, and testing, whether in optical labs (e.g., Zemax, CODE V) or hardware/software bring-up environments. Strong system-level understanding of AR/VR display integration, covering light engines, waveguides/combiners, and processor-to-optics interfaces. Ability to explain complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences. Skilled at analyzing customer requirements and proposing tailored solutions. Proactive, hands-on problem solver with strong interpersonal skills. Comfortable with travel (~20% US, occasionally Asia). Collaborative mindset with excellent communication skills.
