HyperLight HyperLight is at forefront in commercialization of thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) integrated photonics - a material and process technology that is enabling high-performance, scalable optical components across AI/datacom infrastructure, hyperscale computing, quantum computing, sensing, and beyond. Founded in 2018 and backed by leading venture capital, we've built a team and a platform focused on real-world mass deployment of TFLN photonics technology.
At the core of our work is the TFLN Chiplet platform — a modular, integrated architecture designed for scalability, manufacturability, and seamless integration into complex systems. It offers a rare combination of extraordinary performance and industrial readiness, enabling system developers across applications to deploy the technology fast and ready. We partner with our customers and suppliers from conceptualization, design, and prototyping phases, all the way through mass production to ensure smooth and rapid deployment of TFLN photonic technology.
We believe our platform is the key, in the golden age of integrated photonics, to empower humanity to the next level. We assembled a world class team covering engineering, business and operations. We believe in the power of integrity, innovation, collaboration and pragmatic solutions. Our diverse team thrives on challenges and is united by a shared commitment to excellence. We take pride in tackling complex challenges with curiosity, humility, and a deep sense of care for one another.
Our growing team is looking for a
Head of Manufacturing Operations and NPI.
This person will be responsible for our global operations and delivering a successful ramp to high-volume manufacturing of HyperLight's Thin Film Lithium Niobate (TFLN) products for datacom/AI, telecom, and quantum computing. This is a rare opportunity to be at the forefront of a massive technological leap forward.
This role can be based in our headquarters in Cambridge, MA, USA or in HyperLight's Singapore office.
Responsibilities Partnerships:
Manage strategic relationships with our manufacturing partners, overseeing contracts, roadmaps, and joint development efforts. Manufacturing Operations:
Drive key success imperatives during and after transfer of technologies from R&D to scalable, high-volume production Fab and CMs. NPI Execution:
Responsible for new product introduction from development to manufacturing, collaborating across design, test, and process development to optimize production efficiency and yield. Process Development:
Oversee advanced process development for continuous improvement in yield and reliability with internal and external teams. Supply Chain Planning:
Develop and implement strategies for end-to-end supply chain optimization, to achieve resilient, cost-effective capacity, logistics, and distribution processes. Quality Assurance:
Lead quality assurance initiatives to maintain compliance with industry standards and customer expectations, ensuring resolution of manufacturing issues through root cause analysis and corrective actions.
