Lightmatter builds chips for artificial intelligence computing. Our architecture leverages the unique properties of light to enable fast and efficient inference and training engines. If you're a collaborative engineer or scientist who has a passion for innovation, solving challenging technical problems, and doing impactful work...work like building the world's first optical computers, consider joining the team at Lightmatter!

In this role, you will be a key member of the analog team architecting the world's first photonic computers. This is fundamentally an interdisciplinary team, and outside-the-box thinking is the daily norm. You will need both deep expertise in mixed-signal and analog design and breadth across other engineering disciplines, such as photonics and digital electronics, semiconductor device physics, thermal/packaging, and machine learning. The successful candidate will demonstrate an eagerness to refresh and grow their competency in these areas.

Responsibilities

• Participate on the architecture development with our chip architects by conducting feasibility studies
• Collaborate with other design engineering teams (system, packaging, digital, photonics) to translate system-level requirements into electrical design specifications
• Lead the analog design and top-level integration of integrated circuits development
• Design complex analog and mixed-signal circuits
• Create technical reports and design specifications documents
• Plan DFT strategy and support its design implementation
• Oversee the performance validation of the analog circuits in the lab
• Support production test development and ramp to production
• Mentor junior engineers
