Applied Materials, Inc., Santa Clara, California, us, 95053
Product Program Manager, Flat OpticsIn the Office of the CTO, we are focused on bringing Applied Materials innovations to new and adjacent markets. Our Photonics Platforms Business team is creating new super thin (sub micron) optical surfaces based on nanometer-sized structures on transparent substrates (known as “metasurface based optics” or “flat optics”), which manipulate light in the deep sub wavelength domain and enable previously impossible capabilities. These components will be the most fundamental change in optics in hundreds of years and could be deployed in AR/VR devices, cameras, projectors, sensors, and a host of yet to be imagined opportunities — there is endless potential.
Our dedicated and talented team is working to perfect this new technology. If you’re an entrepreneurial-oriented, enthusiastic engineering project manager who is willing to learn and challenge yourself in creating cutting-edge technology to revolutionize the field of optics — we want you to be a part of our team.
The Photonics Platforms Business group is currently seeking to hire a Technical Product Program Manager with 3-6 years of successful work experience in managing technical programs to take our components through the product release process and make them available to end customers. Candidates with optical device components product management experience will be given the highest consideration.
