About us:
Akhetonics
is creating the world’s first all-optical XPU, a cross-domain processor for general-purpose, ultra-low power, high-performance computing and AI. Furthermore, our photonic processors are created using a purely European supply chain, from fabrication to packaging, allowing for unmatched security in the high-performance computing domain.
About the role:
You will develop a standalone simulator and modelling environment that bridges the physical behaviour of integrated photonic circuits to system-level simulations, including interfaces to electronic control and measurement flows. This is a hands-on role in a small team: you’ll shape how models are built, validated, and simulated—balancing accuracy, scalability, and speed.
