Lightmatter Staff Electrical Design Engineer at Lightmatter leading board and system solutions for silicon photonics AI accelerators and interconnect products. Collaborate across hardware and software teams to design, integrate, troubleshoot, and release system-level products.

Responsibilities

Collaborate with the system architect and technical leads to define system-level hardware requirements and spec.
Electrical design of power, memory, and interconnect circuits, working in both the analog and digital domains.
Identify electrical and optical components to fit the application based on specifications provided by the IC and photonics engineering teams.
Starting from fundamental concepts and system considerations you will develop conceptual designs, physical modeling, and simulations of chip-modules and systems.
Oversee and review PCB layout designs, providing complete and detailed electrical constraint rules.
Ensure the board and system is manufacturable to the latest technologies with high yield and robustness.
Qualification of chip and system electrical properties.
Perform laboratory validation of boards and systems.
Lead integration with mechanical, software, IC, and other related teams.
Support contract manufacturing during prototype and production phase to resolve any issues.
Work with component vendors and other supply partners.
Research new components, processes, and technologies to meet product goals.
