Sr. Physical Design Flow & Methodology Engineer

Lightmatter is leading the revolution in AI data center infrastructure, enabling the next giant leaps in human progress. The company invented the world’s first 3D-stacked photonics engine, Passage™, capable of connecting thousands to millions of processors at the speed of light in extreme-scale data centers for the most advanced AI and HPC workloads. Lightmatter raised $400 million in its Series D round, reaching a valuation of $4.4 billion. We will continue to accelerate the development of data center photonics and grow every department at Lightmatter! If you're passionate about tackling complex challenges, making an impact, and being an expert in your craft, join our team of brilliant scientists, engineers, and accomplished industry leaders. Lightmatter is (re)inventing the future of computing with light! We’re looking for a Physical Design Flow & Methodology Engineer to help build the tools, flows and automation our physical design teams use to tape out high-performance ASICs and mixed-signal chips. You’ll write production Python, use AI and LLM-based tools to make our flows smarter and faster, and evaluate new EDA capabilities before they reach our implementation teams. You’ll also work with a team of world-class scientists and engineers on design problems that are new to the photonics industry. If you like writing code that makes other engineers more productive, and you want to shape how next-generation chips get built, we’d like to hear from you.
