Executive Vice President, Semiconductor Devices
EVP at Coherent Corp. — a large enterprise (est. ~18K employees) in semiconductor/photonics hardware — falls outside Niuro's 50-500 employee target and none of its core ICP verticals (SaaS, fintech, healthtech, etc.), and his deep hardware R&D skillset (fiber optics, FPGA, photonics) has no alignment with software engineering staff augmentation; Seed phase allows a slight generosity bump but cannot overcome the fundamental industry and company-size mismatch.
Beck, your arc from R&D at JDSU through Lumentum to running Semiconductor Devices at Coherent is a serious run in photonics. Curious how you are staffing engineering for the new unit. Niuro embeds senior LatAm systems and photonics engineers into US teams, hours aligned with San Jose. Are you building those teams locally, or open to a faster path to senior talent?
2026-06-17 11:34Scaling a semiconductor devices org usually comes down to finding senior photonics and RF engineers who actually ship, not the roadmap itself. We keep a vetted LatAm bench of that exact profile, same time zone as San Jose. How are you staffing the R&D side at Coherent right now, building the pipeline internally or pulling from outside?
