Project Manager GaN (Senior Engineer)
Onsite working in Spain Required
The Project Manager is responsible for leading and coordinating projects focused on the development, fabrication, and commercialization of products and systems based on Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology. This role requires a combination of technical expertise in GaN devices and strong project management skills.
The Project Manager oversees project execution from planning and resource allocation to risk assessment and delivery, working closely with R&D, engineering, manufacturing, and external partners. Responsibilities include the physical implementation of photonic or electronic devices, DRC verification, and collaboration with PDK and design teams.
Responsibilities:
-Plan and coordinate R&D projects aligned with technology roadmaps
-Lead technical tasks and documentation with multidisciplinary teams, driving the design, development, and transfer to manufacturing of GaN-based products and components
-Define project scope, objectives, deliverables, timelines, budgets, and KPIs
-Review work from junior engineers (layout, process, and design) to ensure quality standards
-Establish and track project schedules, milestones, and budgets using project management tools (e.g., Microsoft Project, ClickUp)
-Identify risks, implement mitigation strategies, and ensure compliance with safety, quality, and regulatory standards
-Prepare and present project reports, progress updates, and technical documentation for internal and external stakeholders
-Drive continuous improvement through lessons learned and best practices
-Support business development and technical marketing with expertise on GaN technology and project outcomes
-Ensure accurate records of experiments, measurements, and fabrication steps
Required Education and Experience:
-Master’s degree or PhD in Engineering, Applied Physics, Photonics, Materials Science, Optoelectronics, or a related field (business/project management training is an advantage)
