Senior Product Manager - Product Development

Silex Microsystems is the world’s leading pure-play MEMS foundry, delivering customized solutions for top-tier clients in industries like pharmaceuticals, consumer electronics, and automotive. As a Senior Product Manager, you’ll help bring cutting-edge MEMS technologies from concept to market. Would you like to know more about Silex and what we do? Read more here.

This job will be posted over the summer holidays, and we will start processing applications at the beginning of August.

The Team

The Product Development team steps in where the Sales team leaves off, working closely with customers to transform innovative ideas into functional, production-ready products. We focus on delivering exceptional results during the concept and prototype phases, ensuring we meet and exceed client expectations.

We’re a collaborative team of nearly 40 members, including Product Managers, CAD Engineers, and Process Design Engineers. Knowledge-sharing and teamwork are central to how we operate.

The role

As a Senior Product Manager, you’ll take ownership of developing custom MEMS products in close collaboration with our customers and Silex’s Process Engineers. You'll guide the journey from concept through early production, ensuring the product meets the customer’s vision while setting up scalable production processes. This development cycle may span a few months to several years and results in products used across industries like Telecom, Life Sciences & Medical, Industrial & Automotive, and Consumer Devices.

This role combines project management and technical expertise. As prototypes enter processing, you’ll often spend time in our cleanroom, or coordinating analyses of wafers with a junior colleague.

You’ll report to a Group Manager within Product Development and work cross-functionally within Silex, as well as externally with customers. To ensure a strong start, you’ll receive hands-on training from an experienced colleague to familiarize you with our development process and tools.

Your responsibilities

• Act as the primary point of contact for customers during product development.
• Take technical ownership of new MEMS products.
• Lead failure analysis and troubleshooting activities.
• Drive process development, improvements, and documentation.
• Manage delivery plans, order portfolios, and contribute to strategic planning.
• Collaborate closely with internal teams and external stakeholders.

What we’re looking for

• Master’s degree or PhD in Engineering, ideally with coursework in Material Physics, Nanotechnology, MEMS, or Material Chemistry.
• Experience with MEMS or CMOS technology through work or academic research.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to discuss technical topics in English, Swedish is considered highly beneficial as a lot of internal documentation is written in Swedish.
• Previous experience in customer-facing roles.
• Several years of experience in production environments, preferably in project management or process engineering roles.
• Familiarity with cleanroom or lab-based work.

To succeed in the role, we also think that you are

• A clear and adaptable communicator, able to engage both colleagues and customers
• Organized and methodical in how you drive projects forward
• Curious and eager to deepen your expertise in MEMS
• Business-minded and focused on delivering value to customers
