Our partner company

is a privately held organization developing microLED-based ultra-low power, high-bandwidth interconnects for chip-to-chip communications. This technology is poised to revolutionize High-Performance Computing (HPC) and Cloud computing, as well as other industries where low-power interconnects are critical—such as camera sensors, autonomous vehicles, and aerospace. The company is headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, with a development center in Edinburgh, Scotland.

About the Role:

Develop and test packaging solutions for multi-lane optical interconnects.

Design and test optical sub-assemblies with arrays of optical fibers.

Design multi-fiber optical connectors and work with external vendors to develop a connector ecosystem.

Design micro-array assembly processes, fixtures, and tooling.

Work with optical fibers, optimize optical launches, and conduct optical loss testing.

Develop mechanical/optomechanical test procedures.

Perform micron-level assembly techniques.

Measure material properties and interactions (e.g., epoxy selection, CTE, stress).

Conduct component reliability and qualification testing.

Requirements:

5+ years of experience in Opto-Mechanical or Optical Packaging.

M.S. degree or higher in Opto-Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or a related field.

Preferred experience with Optical Transceiver assembly, Silicon Photonics, or Co-Packaged Optics.

Hands‑on expertise with mechanical design software (e.g., SolidWorks) and mechanical modeling simulations.

Experience with optical modeling software (e.g., Zemax, LightTools) is an asset.

Knowledge of micro-replication techniques and polymer molding is an asset.

Ability to work independently in a fast‑paced startup environment.

Strong teamwork and communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across internal teams and external partners, customers, and consultants.
