Silex Microsystems is the world’s leading pure-play MEMS foundry, customizing solutions for prominent global clients in industries such as pharmaceuticals, consumer electronics, manufacturing and automotive. As a Product Manager you will work with groundbreaking MEMS innovations from concept to market. Sounds interesting? Keep reading. 

The Product Development team picks up where the Sales team leaves off, collaborating closely with clients to transform innovative ideas into tangible products ready for production. Our mission is to ensure that we meet client expectations in the proof of concept and prototype production phase. With nearly 40 team members, including Product Managers, CAD Engineers, and Process Design Engineers, our team closely collaborates and exchanges expertise. 

As a Product Manager, your main responsibility is to develop customized products from the ground up in collaboration with our customers and Silex’s Process Engineers. You will guide customers through the product setup phase and early production, making sure their vision is realized while establishing the processes needed for future volume manufacturing. This journey can span from a few months to several years, typically moving through a concept phase followed by prototyping. 

In this role, you will combine project management skills with technical know-how to navigate the product development process. Once prototype processing begins, you will typically spend some time in our cleanroom, supporting the process team with inspection and wafer analysis. You will also handle customer communication and, over time, take on greater commercial responsibility as you grow in the role. How you take part in a customer program when you enter the position will depend on what experiences you bring and your seniority level. 

You will report to one of our Group Managers within Product Development and work closely with colleagues across Silex, including senior Product Managers who will take part in introducing you to the role. 

Depending on your level of experience when you enter the role, the complexity of the role may vary. For all of our new Product Managers, you will in the beginning be:  

• Identifying product issues and ensuring the right internal experts are involved in solving technical problems. 

• Collecting, documenting, and communicating technical information during product development. 

• Driving product process development, improvement initiatives, and troubleshooting. 

As you grow into the role: 

• Acting as Silex Technical Lead towards the customer’s technical team, coordinating and leading all technical and planning communication for the program. 

• Managing customer communications (meetings, reporting, preparations, meeting notes) and external reports. 

• Taking responsibility for program planning and ensuring deadlines are met. 

• Representing customer programs within Silex and coordinating the activities needed to ensure success, involving relevant functions. 

• Maintaining and improving product quality through Silex’s internal systems.   

• Holds a Master’s degree in Engineering with coursework in Material Physics, Nanotechnology, MEMS, or Material Chemistry. 

• Has strong communication skills in both spoken and written English and Swedish, with the ability to discuss technical topics in English. 

• Enjoys hands-on work in a cleanroom environment (experience from similar work is a plus). 

• Has experience from an R&D, manufacturing environment or a similar context. 

• Thrives in a fast-paced, dynamic setting and is committed to delivering the best results for both customers and the company. 

We review applications on a rolling basis, so we encourage you to apply as soon as possible. To apply, please attach your CV or LinkedIn-profile, and answer a few questions. 

Our recruitment process is designed to ensure a fair and objective assessment.

Next, you will meet with one of our Group Managers together with a Talent Acquisition Partner for an in-person interview, and finally with our VP of Product Development for a concluding interview. Before an offer, we also conduct reference checks, a background check, and a drug test. Randomized alcohol- and drug testing is conducted for all of our employees during the employment.
