About Us:
nEye.ai, a well-funded optical switch startup, is poised to revolutionize the future of data centers. nEye’s MEMS-based silicon photonics optical circuit switches (OCS) eliminate critical bottlenecks in AI processing by enabling direct optical connections among thousands of GPUs and memory units. The company's SuperSwitch is an ultra-low power consumption, high radix, compact chip-scale design, offering hyperscale data centers enhanced performance, efficiency, and scalability.
Job Overview:
Our team is seeking a skilled Photonics Systems Test Engineer to own silicon photonics system testing and characterization efforts. Your expertise will be essential in ensuring the highest levels of quality and performance for nEye’s OCS product. This position requires a hands-on understanding of a wide variety of optical metrics, optical measurement techniques and the corresponding equipment. You will not only execute tests yourself, but also design the test methodologies, evaluate equipment, and implement test automation efforts.
Key Responsibilities
- Manufacturing Testing: (1) Develop end-to-end manufacturing test readiness for nEye’s optical product line ensuring coverage for all critical performance metrics and reliability standards; (2) Conduct Measurement System Capability and Process Capability Analysis (MSA/CpK) to validate all test results; (3) Ensure test processes adhere to standards (e.g., Telcordia. JEDEC)2
- Test Systems Automation: (1) Design and implement new test equipment and fixtures (in-house or with partners) for scalability and reliability; (2) Evaluate and select optical test equipment, assessing its capability to perform desired measurements with required precision; (3) Develop and maintain robust, high-quality test and process automation software using our Python-based framework; (4) Integrate and debug test hardware/software, including defining test cases, related parameters, and acceptance limits
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Optical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related technical field
- 6+ years of progressive experience in systems engineering and test development in a hardware, high-volume, or startup environment
Preferred Qualification
- Direct product experience testing specific components like DWDM filters, Mux/Demux, circulators, couplers, switches, etc
- Comfortable working in a high-velocity, evolving environment with a willingness to travel to support manufacturing partners and field deployment as required
- Intimate knowledge of all of the following optical metrics and their measurement techniques: IL, RL, WDL, PDL, CD, DGD, GDR, and MPI
