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 Photonic Reliability Engineer to ensure reliability, performance and quality of electro-optic and semiconductor devices, including photonic integrated circuits. In this role, you will validate reliability of our products in accordance with Telcordia GR-468 and JEDEC standards, build life prediction models and collaborate across teams to ensure product robustness to meet customer needs and requirements.
As part of your responsibilities, you will be:
- Define, develop and execute reliability test plans for new product/process/tool releases and ongoing monitoring of high-volume manufacturing products.
- Analyze and report reliability data to assess device/product performance and identify potential reliability risks and failure modes.
- Perform accelerated life testing and statistical analysis to determine life prediction models as well as quantify failure rate in terms of FIT rate.
- Investigate device/product failures and work closely with cross-functional teams to determine root causes and implement preventive and corrective actions.
- Manage reliability test requests, schedule and reliability oven utilization to ensure efficient execution of the tests.
- Maintain and calibrate reliability test equipment to ensure accurate and reliable testing results.
- Assist with maintenance of lab procedures and workflow protocols.
Requirements
