Description
HyperLight is at the forefront of the 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 hands-on Transceiver R&D Engineer to own the design, characterization, and qualification of advanced optical transceiver reference designs. You'll work across firmware, DSP, optics, and hardware to ensure our QSFP/OSFP-based transceivers meet performance and interoperability requirements.
As part of your responsibilities, you will be:
- Define and execute test plans for optical transceivers (IMDD and/or coherent)
- Characterize transceiver performance for >1.6T modules — BER, eye diagrams, SNR, OSNR, TDECQ, OER, OMA, receiver sensitivity, latency, and more
- Validate TFLN modulator-based transceivers across electrical, optical, and thermal domains
- Bring up and debug QSFP/OSFP transceiver modules
- Collaborate with firmware and DSP teams to tune system performance
- Support compliance testing (IEEE, OIF, CMIS)
- Analyze failures, drive root-cause resolution, and recommend design improvements
