Who We Are

We are changing the norm by being customer-focused, technology-led. viaPhoton is reimagining fiber optic manufacturing for the AI era. We design and deliver custom-engineered, end-to-end fiber connectivity solutions for the data centers, 5G networks, and AI infrastructure shaping the next decade, and our customers need them in weeks, not months.

  • Collaborate across business, engineering, and production teams to define and achieve project success
  • Identify and resolve key project risks and issues, keeping teams aligned and focused
  • Communicate project status to leadership and stakeholders with clear reporting on plans, risks, and progress
  • Create new methodologies and solutions to support company growth and help the team scale

What You'll Bring

  • Have a BS degree in Electrical, Mechanical, or Computer Engineering
  • Have led development, automation, or process engineering programs from concept through production
  • Have overseen project planning, execution, and delivery across cross-functional teams
  • Can balance competing stakeholder needs and build comprehensive project plans, timelines, and budgets
  • Are self-directed, pick up new things quickly, and stay flexible as priorities shift
