Form of workSr. Engineer, System and Hardware Validation
The systems and Hardware Validation engineer is responsible for validating Ayar Labs multi-wavelength sources and CMOS chiplet performance. Validation covers both component level design validation as well as system performance to ensure a seamless experience when the technology is deployed to Ayar Labs customers. Also responsible for chip and laser characterization, bring up, as well as troubleshooting and resolving core engineering challenges as a product transitions from initial release to customer release. A strong understanding of laser, photonics, CMOS, and system level concepts is strongly preferred along with experience with complex test and measurement techniques. Strong knowledge of data analysis, process control, and statistical methods is also critical.
Essential Functions:

About Ayar Labs:
At Ayar Labs we’re about to revolutionize computing by moving data with light. We’re unleashing processing power for artificial intelligence, high performance computing, cloud and telecommunications by removing the bottlenecks created by today’s electrical I/O -- making it possible to continue scaling computing system performance. Ayar Labs is the first to deliver an optical I/O solution that combines in-package optical I/O chiplets and multi-wavelength remote light sources to replace traditional electrical I/O. This silicon photonics-based I/O solution enables chips to communicate with each other from millimeters to kilometers, to deliver orders of magnitude improvements in latency, bandwidth density, and power consumption.
With our strong collaborations with industry leaders and government, our deep ties to MIT and UC Berkeley, and our commitment to hiring the best engineers in photonics and electronics, joining our team gives you the opportunity to collaborate with renowned experts on challenging, paradigm-shifting work.
We are passionate about delivering in-package optical I/O at scale, leveraging the strength of our patent portfolio and our team of leading interdisciplinary experts. We believe that deep cross-collaboration between teams facilitated by honest, open debate is the best way to drive innovation and achieve big wins. Join our team and experience the possibilities.
