About the role

  • From chip-to-chip optical interconnects to scalable photonic engines, Lumilens is unlocking a new era of computing, faster, cooler, and massively more efficient.
  • This isn't incremental innovation, it's a ground-floor opportunity to rethink the optical layer from the silicon up.
  • You'll work alongside a team of world-class engineers solving some of the hardest challenges in optics, systems, and scale.

Responsibilities

  • Define and lead the software roadmap for manufacturing systems supporting optical transceivers and photonic devices
  • Drive software solutions for wafer probe, module test, system-level validation, and final test
  • Develop software frameworks to improve yield, throughput, and cycle time across manufacturing lines
  • Lead implementation of data-driven yield analysis, failure detection, and root cause methodologies
  • Build and deploy automated test and calibration systems for optical modules, including DSP tuning and optical alignment
  • Partner with manufacturing and quality teams to reduce escapes, improve reliability, and optimize cost
  • Support customer qualifications, audits, and production ramp readiness
  • Implement robust telemetry, logging, and traceability systems across the manufacturing lifecycle
  • Drive alignment between internal manufacturing systems and customer validation environments
  • Partner closely with photonics, ASIC, hardware, systems, and operations teams to enable manufacturable product designs

Requirements

  • Bachelor's or advanced degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field
  • 12+ years of experience in software engineering, with significant focus on manufacturing, test, or production systems
  • 5+ years of leadership experience managing engineering teams
  • Proven experience supporting NPI to high-volume manufacturing (HVM), including yield ramp and production scaling
  • Strong programming experience (Python, C/C++, or similar) for automation, test, and data systems
  • Experience with MES systems, data pipelines, and manufacturing analytics
  • Experience with optical transceivers (QSFP, QSFP-DD, OSFP) and high-speed modules (400G, 800G, 1.6T)
  • Familiarity with DSP-based systems, calibration flows, and optical performance tuning
  • Experience in fast-paced startup or high-growth environments

Compensation

  • Competitive executive-level compensation, including meaningful equity participation

Benefits

  • Competitive executive-level compensation, including meaningful equity participation
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance

Company info

  • Ensure manufacturing software meets the scale, quality, and traceability requirements of hyperscale customers
  • Experience supporting hyperscalers or Tier 1 data center customers
