About The Company At Corinex, we are driving the future of energy with cutting-edge Broadband over Power Line (BPL) technology. As a global leader in smart grid solutions, we enable utilities to enhance grid visibility, flexibility, and decarbonization, supporting the seamless integration of renewable energy, electric vehicles, and heat pumps into the power grid.

Headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, Corinex is the market leader in Europe, particularly in Spain, where our BPL solutions are deployed by major DSOs (Distribution System Operators) to improve grid operations. With successful implementations across global markets, our technologies accelerate the transition to a more sustainable, decentralized, and efficient energy infrastructure. Recognized as a key contributor to industry standards and a 2024 Deloitte Technology Fast 50 winner, Corinex is shaping the future of smart energy.

Role Overview We are seeking a strategic, technically capable, and hands‑on Director, Product Development & External Manufacturing to lead the execution of Corinex's hardware and semiconductor product development programs and the external manufacturing ecosystem that brings those products to market. This role combines product development leadership with global foundry, Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT), contract manufacturing, and strategic sourcing responsibilities.

Working closely with the C-suite, Engineering, and Finance, you will drive cross‑functional programs from product requirements, design coordination, prototyping, and validation through New Product Introduction (NPI), manufacturing qualification, scale‑up, and sustaining improvements. You will translate technical designs into manufacturable, reliable,



cost‑effective solutions for Corinex's Broadband over Power Lines (BPL) and smart‑grid portfolio.

You will manage and expand relationships with semiconductor foundries, OSAT providers, electronics manufacturing services (EMS) partners, and critical suppliers; negotiate strategic manufacturing and IP agreements; and build resilient capacity and sourcing plans. This is an execution‑focused leadership role requiring strong technical judgment, commercial discipline, and direct ownership of delivery outcomes.

Key Responsibilities Product Development & Engineering Execution

Lead cross‑functional execution of hardware and custom silicon development programs from requirements and design planning through prototypes, engineering verification, design validation, and production release.

Partner with Silicon Engineering, Hardware, Firmware, Mechanical, Test, and Product teams to translate product requirements into practical development milestones, deliverables, resource plans, and manufacturing‑readiness criteria.

Manage technical dependencies, schedule risks, design reviews, and issue resolution to keep development activities aligned with product roadmaps, launch priorities, and commercial requirements.

Drive early engagement with manufacturing partners on design for manufacturability, assembly, testability, reliability, and cost (DFM/DFA/DFT), supporting production scalability without compromising product performance.





Coordinate prototype builds, engineering and design validation, qualification testing, and resolution of design or component issues prior to manufacturing release.

Oversee design transfer, bills of materials (BOMs), approved production documentation, engineering change orders (ECO/ECN), and product revisions; incorporate production and field feedback into continuous product improvement.

New Product Introduction (NPI) & External Manufacturing

Own the manufacturing transition of new hardware and semiconductor products, including prototype and pilot builds, process validation, production test readiness, and ramp‑up to high‑volume manufacturing (HVM), as applicable.

Establish and manage operating relationships with external contract manufacturers, EMS providers, and other production partners; set transparent commitments for quality, delivery, cost, capacity, and technical support.

Ensure manufacturing packages, test procedures, tooling, work instructions, component approvals, and traceability requirements are complete and controlled before production launch.

Partner with Engineering and manufacturers to improve first‑pass yield, test coverage, cycle time, throughput, reliability, and on‑time delivery; resolve critical manufacturing issues and production interruptions.

Foundry & OSAT Management

Lead commercial and operational engagement with semiconductor foundries and OSAT partners, building productive relationships with existing partners and qualifying additional providers for future technology and capacity needs.

Proactively identify, contact, and evaluate leading and alternative global foundries, potentially including TSMC, GlobalFoundries
