Job Summary
Your mission
is building photonic processing systems that compute with light delivering a scalable energy-efficient alternative to transistor-based architectures for next-generation AI and HPC applications.
Groundbreaking technology alone does not create market leadership. It must be strategically protected defensible and positioned to secure long-term freedom to operate and technological dominance.
As our Senior Patent Manager (m/f/d) your mission is to transform innovation into strategic power. You ensure that breakthroughs in photonic processors are systematically identified effectively protected and leveraged to secure sustainable competitive advantage. By architecting a robust intellectual property framework you convert technological excellence into long-term business value enhance investor confidence and reinforce the companys position as a market leader.
Your Responsibilities:
- Strategic IP Architecture:Develop and evolve a forward-looking patent strategy that synchronizes breakthroughs with global businessobjectivesfor a sustainable competitive advantage.
- Innovation Extraction:Partner with R&D and Executive Leadership toidentifyand prioritize patentable breakthroughs transforming deep-tech into high-value enforceable global assets.
- Portfolio Mastery:Take full ownership of the international patent lifecycle - from disclosure to enforcement - ensuring a robust and commercially dominant IP portfolio (EP US PCT).
- FTO Governance:Secure market power through proactive Freedom-to-Operate analyses and competitive monitoring neutralizing IP risks before theyimpactthe technology roadmap.
- Investor Readiness:Deliver sophisticated IP reporting and due diligence providing transparency and actionable insights for investors partners and the C-suite.
- Institutional IP Culture:Foster high-performance IP awareness within technical teams to accelerate the transition from lab invention to protected corporateasset.
Your profile
- Deep-Tech Foundation:University degree in Physics Electrical Engineering or Photonics enabling you to engage with breakthrough science at its most granular level.
- Strategic IP Expertise:5 years in patent management or a top-tier law firm with a proventrack recordin navigating complex international patent systems.
- Technological Foresight:Nuanced understanding ofdeep-tech(ideally photonics/semiconductors) toanticipatemarket shifts and translate technical concepts into IP value.
- Analytical Rigor:Exceptionalskillin FTO and competitive mapping treating risk management as a strategic lever for market dominance.
- Autonomous Resilience:Self-driven operator who thrives in high-complexity environmentsmaintaininga result-oriented focus even under intense pressure.
