Job Details
Staff Analog/Mixed Signal IC Design Engineer
Lightmatter builds chips for artificial intelligence computing. Our architecture leverages the unique properties of light to enable fast and efficient inference and training engines. If you're a collaborative engineer or scientist who has a passion for innovation, solving challenging technical problems, and doing impactful work...work like building the world's first optical computers, consider joining the team at Lightmatter!
In this role, you will be a key member of the analog team architecting the world's first photonic computers. This is fundamentally an interdisciplinary team, and outside-the-box thinking is the daily norm. You will need both deep expertise in mixed-signal and analog design and breadth across other engineering disciplines, such as photonics and digital electronics, semiconductor device physics, thermal/packaging, and machine learning. The successful candidate will demonstrate an eagerness to refresh and grow their competency in these areas.
*We are open to hiring a candidate in the Boston, MA or Mountain View, CA areas for this role.
Responsibilities
Requirements
Benefits
We offer competitive compensation. The base salary range for this role, inclusive of all US locations, is $165,000-$200,000. Your base salary will be determined based on location, experience, educational background, and market data.
