Assistant director job in San Francisco, CA
Chinese American International School - San Francisco, California - Full time
Founded in 1981 as the first Mandarin immersion school in the United States, the Chinese American International School (CAIS) educates 571 students age two through 8th grade. Over the last four decades, CAIS has been recognized globally as a leader in bilingual education and an innovator for its commitment to immersive, cultural education through the study of language. CAIS is “a safe place to tinker and try,” with deep support for educators who lead with curiosity and vision and a culture that values creativity, risk‑taking, and collaboration. Within the middle school, students in grades 6-8 study an intellectually challenging, competency‑based curriculum that includes math, science, design technology, English language arts, social studies, Chinese language arts and social studies, music, studio art, and physical education.
With the upcoming retirement of the current middle school director, who has been at CAIS since 2014, the school now looks forward to welcoming its next middle school director to lead an outstanding academic program and foster community connection across the school's new, unified campus.
The director will oversee the ongoing implementation of competency‑based learning in the middle school program, and promote Mandarin immersion excellence that distinguishes CAIS among its peers in an increasingly competitive market. This is an exciting opportunity for a mission‑driven academic leader to join a visionary community and help define what it means to be a CAIS graduate in a global, multilingual world. The next middle school director will also join CAIS two years after the school relocated to a single, spectacular, unified campus, following a period of operations on three separate campuses. Reporting to the head of school, the middle school director will directly supervise middle school faculty and learning specialists, and the athletic director. CAIS looks forward to welcoming the incoming director to begin July 1, 2026.

Director, Analog
Medium 4.0
Assistant director job in San Jose, CA
Lumotive is pioneering the era of programmable optics-where light is controlled as intelligently and flexibly as software.
At the heart of this transformation is a once-in-a-generation innovation: a flat CMOS-based“general purpose optic.” Lumotive's Light Control Metasurface (LCM™)beam forming chipscan be programmed to function as abeam steering mirror, a lens, mirror, a beam splitter-or any optical function-replacing bulky and mechanical optical components with a fully digital, reconfigurable semiconductor . This breakthrough lays the foundation for a massive shift in multiple technologies-from 3D sensing and imaging to optical networking, free space optical communication, and beyond. Like the shift from analog to digital in electronics, programmable optics will reshape industries from robotics, self-driving cars, AI, defense, and healthcare.
Lumotive's first commercial application is in LiDAR, where its software-defined beam steering chips are already enabling compact, high-performance, solid-state sensors. These sensors are being deployed today in smart infrastructure, robotics, and mobility systems through leading module makers and solution integrators.
With more than 200 patents and growing commercial traction, Lumotive is delivering the world's first digital platform for light-and redefining what's possible in the optical age.
Job Description
Lumotive is seeking a highly experienced and hands‑on Director of Analog to lead the development of next‑generation analog circuitry for Beam steering mixed‑signal ASIC controllers.
