Photonic is entering a defining phase: advancing from breakthrough research toward disciplined, milestone-driven execution. This requires more than strong individual domains - it requires an engineering organization that can staff, support, and coordinate critical engineering and science work as one execution-focused team. As SVP, Engineering, you will own the end-to-end performance of engineering across Hardware, Integrated Photonics, Software, and related scientific work.
You will align deeply technical domains into a coherent execution model, establish the operating rhythm for engineering (cadence, decision-making, accountability), and drive delivery at company scale. This is a high-impact, high-accountability role where success is measured by milestone achievement, coordinated execution, and tangible technical progress - not activity, not progress in isolation. You will lead through VPs, scale leadership rapidly, and partner directly with the CEO and executive team to translate strategy into execution.
The environment is fast-moving, ambiguous, and unforgiving—this role requires judgment, urgency, and the ability to impose clarity without constraining innovation, simplify and scale. Please include a cover letter with your resume (in one file) describing how you would be a great fit at Photonic and what attributes you could bring to our growing team.
