Description:
TECHNICAL LEAD, Microelectronics Systems
Hyperlume is a semiconductor company with a mission to transform data center connectivity with the world's fastest and most energy-efficient microLED-based interconnects. With AI models exceeding 1 trillion parameters and training clusters of more than 100,000 GPUs, higher levels of connectivity, driven by higher bandwidth, lower latency and lower energy consumption are needed to reach AI's full potential and solve some of the world's most challenging problems. As the world enters this new era of artificial intelligence, Hyperlume is committed to developing cutting-edge connectivity solutions in months, not years.
Hyperlume is looking for a highly skilled and experienced ASIC and Microelectronics Design Team Lead to lead the chip design and prototyping of cutting-edge electro-optical communication systems, from concept to tape-out and system-level integration. The primary focus will be on developing active optical cables using visible light wavelengths, design and integration of optical transceivers and control interfaces (e.g., I2C) while ensuring high performance, reliability and manufacturability. If you want to work on the next generation of optical technologies, Hyperlume is one of the few places in the world where you can do that.
