About the role
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! The person in this role will be a technology development and manufacturing team member working on planning, developing foundry process technology, manufacturing and characterization for next-generation Lightmatter products.
The team will be creating product-specific silicon manufacturing process flow plan, working with supplier and internal core competency team such as package design team, silicon design teams on qualifying technology nodes, characterizing manufacturing processes and monitoring plan for Lightmatter products from product definition through qualification and high-volume manufacturing. It also involves engaging with design and platform engineering teams in addition to the supply chain organization to influence the definition of the product and to leverage the capabilities of the ecosystem from a manufacturing process perspective.
Responsibilities Lead foundry process technology development, manufacturing strategies and specifications efforts for our highly integrated photonics-based AI platform and our photonics chiplet communication fabric Establish silicon fabrication process coverage metrics and establish yield expectations and monitoring mechanisms Provide manufacturing process solutions for integrated digital/analog/photonic/laser devices Work closely with Foundry suppliers to ensure manufacturing output specifications are being met Collaborate with the Design-For-Manufacturing (DFM) team early in the design process Develop silicon technology and capability roadmap to support Lightmatter product requirement. Develop initial product fabrication qualification and execution plan Establish metrics and methodology to characterize and ensure reliable product operation at customer sites over the expected product lifetime Collaborate with design and /layout team to coordinate product tapeout to foundry.
