Technical Product Manager

At Swave Photonics, we’re not just imagining the future — we’re engineering it. We're a fabless semiconductor company pioneering holographic chips based on our proprietary diffractive photonics technology. Our mission is to empower display manufacturers and system innovators to leap forward with ultra-high-resolution, true holographic displays.

Imagine a world where digital content floats in front of your eyes, where digital interactions are seamlessly integrated into your surroundings, and AR glasses amplify your senses with real-time AI intelligence — all while being light, fashionable, and personalized to you. That’s the future we’re building. Join us at the forefront of this revolution.

To help realize this vision, we're hiring a Technical Product Manager (TPM) . This person will be instrumental in guiding our most strategic product offerings and driving their integration across full AR display systems.
