• Interface closely with both the backplane and display teams to ensure seamless integration and alignment of design goals.
• Define and translate system-level requirements into actionable engineering tasks.
• Define, measure, and analyze key display performance and quality KPIs.
• Identify and address factors impacting display panel performance, reliability, and manufacturability.
• Lead the design, development, and optimization of uLED display panels. Drive the evaluation and selection of materials, architectures, and processes to maximize display performance.
• Collaborate with ASIC backplane design, including architecture, layout, and performance optimization to ensure delivery of high-quality displays.
• Define and track µLED panel KPIs, ensuring alignment with overall display system requirements.
• Troubleshoot complex issues at the intersection of display and backplane technologies.
• Propose and implement solutions to improve product quality and performance.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, or a related field.
• At least 5 years of hands-on experience in display design, with a focus on uLED and/or ASIC backplane technologies.
• Understanding of display performance metrics, drive conditions, and the factors influencing them.
• Demonstrated capability to manage, analyze, and communicate large complex datasets effectively and summarize findings to a variety of stakeholders.
• Analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Demonstrated communication and collaboration skills, with a proven track record of working effectively within cross-functional teams.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with high-volume manufacturing of display or backplane components.
• Familiarity with display system integration and end-to-end product development.
• Familiarity with semiconductor fabrication processes and/or mixed signal design.
• Prior experience in a lead engineering role.
