As we are a partner in PhotonDelta, you will also join this unique integrated photonics ecosystem. We foster an open, supportive and highly innovative atmosphere, in which we combine knowledge-sharing with fun events. Moreover, we empower you to evolve and develop your career.

What we expect from you

You thrive on bridging commerce and applied research geared to the development and production of next-gen integrated photonics chips. You have built a network in the semiconductor industry, and preferably in integrated photonics. And you know how to identify market challenges and translate deep technology and market know-how into R&D projects. Harnessing your communication skills, you convince clients in Europe and beyond. In addition, you embrace collaboration with the experts from PITC’s founding partners.

Other knowledge and skills you bring to TNO and PITC:

An MSc or PhD in technical sciences or academic-level ability gained through experience. Extensive experience in market analysis and business development for R&D projects in the semicon/high-tech domain, with a demonstrable success rate of closed deals.
