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! About this Role We are building System Level Test (SLT) for our next-generation high-speed optical interconnect products. This role involves bringing up and operating firmware on our test boards and the test platforms that run on top of it. SLT depends on loading the right firmware, bringing the device to a known state, and exercising it through its diagnostic interfaces. You will own that firmware layer for test, build the executive and datalog that make test flows repeatable and operator-runnable, and carry them from engineering bring-up through board-level test and transfer to manufacturing partners. This is a senior individual-contributor role on a small, growing team where you will have broad ownership and a direct hand in how our test platform is built.
