Some travel will be required to transition manufacturing to domestic and overseas vendors.

The Product Engineering role is the engineering mirror of the Product Marketing lead – the Product Engineer will have responsibility for the design of particular LED products from concept to production, from die to package. Experience beyond device level (level 1) packaging, integration of devices into board assemblies (level 2) and even full luminaires (level 3) products, is a plus. The ideal candidate will have 5-15 years experience in the LED industry in both design and manufacturing roles.

Responsibilities:

• Product and project management for LED design
• Design of complete LED package.
