Molex possesses a rich heritage in the optical industry, delivering high-performance, field-proven optical solutions spanning components, modules, and fully integrated line cards. We provide cutting-edge wavelength management and amplifier technologies, supported by deep optical, mechanical, electrical, and software integration capabilities. These strengths enable Molex to serve the evolving needs of high-density, high-bandwidth, and flexible optical networks. The Senior Technical Program Manager (TPM) will lead cross-functional development programs for advanced optoelectronic products including laser diodes, pump modules, fiber-coupled assemblies, and photonic packaging. This role combines strong program management discipline with deep technical engagement across optical, mechanical, electrical, reliability, manufacturing, and supplier teams. This team has been developed to focus ELSFP interconnect systems for CPO. What You Will Do

• Lead complex optoelectronic development programs from concept through manufacturing release
• Drive New Project Introduction (NPI) program execution across R D, reliability, operations, quality, manufacturing, and suppliers
• Maintain program schedules, milestones, risk, and critical path
• Coordinate execution across global engineering teams, including internal and external development partners
• Identify technical, operational, and supply chain risks early and drive mitigation plans to closure
• Challenge technical assumptions and facilitate data-driven engineering decisions across cross-functional teams
• Support design and tradeoff discussions involving optical performance, thermal behavior, manufacturability, reliability, yield, and cost
• Conduct technical program reviews to ensure design maturity, qualification readiness, and manufacturing readiness
• Track qualification activities including GR-468, environmental stress testing, accelerated life testing, and customer qualification requirements
• Present concise technical and program status updates to executive leadership and customers Who You Are (Basic Qualifications)
