The role
We're looking for a Senior Technical Program Manager to build and run the global supply chain behind both of our product lines, LiDAR and OCS. You'll own supply chain programs from prototype sourcing through high-volume manufacturing. That means coordinating wafer foundries, packaging and test partners, component suppliers and contract manufacturers across North America, Asia and Europe. You'll work closely with engineering, operations, procurement, quality, finance and our customers to make sure we can build what we design, on time, at target cost and at scale.
What you will do
- Supply chain program ownership: Lead end-to-end supply chain programs for LiDAR and OCS, covering sourcing strategy, supplier selection, capacity, cost targets and delivery schedules, all aligned to product NPI milestones.
What you need
- Education: Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Supply Chain Management, Operations or a related technical field. MBA or Master's degree preferred.
- Experience: 6+ years in technical program management, supply chain or operations for hardware products.
- At least 5 of those years should be spent scaling complex hardware to volume production with global suppliers.
- Semiconductor and photonics supply chain: Direct experience with wafer foundries, OSATs and contract manufacturers, ideally in photonics, optoelectronics or semiconductors.
- Global supplier management: A proven record managing suppliers in multiple regions, including Asia, and leading commercial and technical discussions alongside procurement.
- Planning and analytics: Strong command of demand and capacity planning, S&OP and ERP/MRP systems, with the ability to build data-driven models and turn them into decisions.
- Program management rigor: Mastery of schedule, budget and risk management for cross-functional programs that span engineering, operations and external partners.
Nice to have
- Automotive and industrial supply chains: Experience with automotive or industrial quality and supply standards such as IATF 16949, AEC-Q qualification and APQP/PPAP, which are relevant to LiDAR customers.
- Data center supply chains: Familiarity with hyperscaler supply requirements, customer supply agreements and data center qualification standards (e.g., Telcordia GR-468), which are relevant to OCS customers.
- Optical component sourcing: Experience sourcing lasers, photodetectors, fiber assemblies, micro-optics, MEMS or other optoelectronic components.
- Manufacturing quality systems: Hands-on use of PFMEA, control plans, change control and PCN management to keep a multi-tier supply base stable.
- Trade compliance: Working knowledge of export controls, tariffs, country-of-origin rules and multi-region manufacturing footprints.
- External test partners: Experience managing contract test houses, including test transfer, correlation and capacity planning.
- Certifications and mindset: APICS/ASCM (CPIM or CSCP) or PMP certification is a plus. Comfort with ambiguity and a bias toward action in a fast-moving startup.
Core Values We Look For
- Respect: We operate with humility and integrity, and we treat feedback as a gift.
- Ownership: We own our achievements and our failures, and we step in to solve problems before anyone asks.
- Simplicity + Clarity: We solve complex problems by building elegant, simple products and communicating clearly.
Life at Voyant
We build frontier hardware from our lab and office in Midtown Manhattan, where optical tables, lab benches and electronics sit alongside traditional office space. Our work is hands-on and primarily in person, but we don’t run on a rigid 9-to-5. We partner with customers across time zones, so some calls start early or run late, and we adjust schedules around them. We run a high-trust, high-accountability environment: you’ll own meaningful work, move quickly and often wear more than one hat.
Voyant provides catered lunch every day at HQ, and we’re a diverse group of food lovers from around the world who enjoy sharing food, culture and technical ideas around the lunch table.
About Voyant Photonics
Voyant Photonics builds silicon photonic chips that steer and switch light at high speed. They power next generation, chip-scale FMCW LiDAR for robotics and autonomy, and optical circuit switches (OCS) for AI data centers. Based in NYC, we’re a hands-on team designing, building, and deploying frontier hardware to solve problems that matter, from how machines see to how AI scales.
