About the role
We are looking for a Senior Technical Project Manager with 5+ years of experience to own the end-to-end manufacturing process scaling for Magic Leap's proprietary AR waveguides. You'll be the person who takes proven R&D processes and drives them from small-batch validation to high-volume production at scale — working across process engineering, equipment teams, and manufacturing operations at one of the most innovative AR companies in the world.
What will you be doing?
-
Own the end-to-end NPI process for scaling waveguide manufacturing from 25-wafer proof points to hundreds of thousands of wafers
-
Drive output metrics, yield targets, and product quality across the entire manufacturing line — not just a single process step
-
Coordinate across R&D, process development, equipment engineering, and high-volume manufacturing teams to keep scaling programs on track
-
Hold technical teams accountable for deliverables, dig into the details, and push engineers to determine when a problem is "solved enough" to move forward
-
Manage 4–5 concurrent programs simultaneously, bridging the gap between process invention and factory-ready production
Key Requirements
-
5+ years in technical program/project management in semiconductor, optics, or precision manufacturing — must have owned end-to-end process scaling, not just a single module
-
Deep sense of ownership and accountability: you own the delivery of the project, not just the status report — no "the project failed because engineering didn't deliver" mindset
-
Technical curiosity and fluency to challenge process and equipment engineers on details and make informed judgment calls
-
Experience scaling manufacturing processes from development/NPI into high-volume production (fab, cleanroom, or similar environments)
-
AI-forward: actively uses AI tools to produce usable work artifacts — not just dabbling, but integrated into daily workflow
