Job description

The role will translate complex photonic integration technology — the Optical Interposer platform, PICs, optical engines, and light source products — into clear, compelling technical content and positioning that supports sales, partnerships, and industry visibility across the AI data center, telecom, and hyperscale computing markets.

This is a hands-on role requiring both technical fluency in photonics/optical communications and strong marketing communication skills.

Responsibilities

• Develop technical marketing collateral — datasheets, application notes, white papers, technical briefs, and presentations — for the Optical Interposer platform and related products (PICs, optical engines, transceivers, light sources), and translate engineering specifications and lab/test data into customer-facing technical narratives that clearly communicate performance advantages (speed, power, cost, integration density).
• Work closely with Engineering and R&D to develop a deep understanding of POET's products, technologies, and capabilities, ensuring accurate and compelling technical messaging, and support product launches, roadmap communications, and competitive positioning with Product Management.
