        The hires are a big deal. They’re also in line with the other big wheels that Susan has drawn into Eclipse, which funds full-stack companies — meaning companies selling hardware, software and data — and which just officially closed on $500 million in funding two weeks after an SEC filing appeared that suggested as much.
        In 2016, for example, Eclipse hired as a partner Greg Reichow, who was previously Tesla’s executive leader of global manufacturing, factory/automation engineering, supply chain and “product excellence.”
        Eclipse is also announcing today that it has brought aboard Sanjay Jha, who was most recently the CEO of Global Foundries and was both CEO and co-CEO of Motorola Mobility before that. (And before Motorola Mobility, Jha spent 14 years as an executive at Qualcomm, including as the COO of one of its divisions.)
        Mike McNamara retired from the electronics manufacturing giant and services business Flex last December
        McNamara had decided to join Eclipse Ventures, a four-year-old, Palo Alto, Calif.-based firm led by Lior Susan, who’d previously founded LabIX, a hardware investment platform backed by Flex, when it was still called Flextronics.
