Senior Optical Test Engineer

About Us:   nEye.ai, a well-funded optical switch startup, is poised to revolutionize the future of data centers. nEye’s MEMS-based silicon photonics optical circuit switches (OCS) eliminate critical bottlenecks in AI processing by enabling direct optical connections among thousands of GPUs and memory units. The company's SuperSwitch is an ultra-low power consumption, high radix, compact chip-scale design, offering hyperscale data centers enhanced performance, efficiency, and scalability.     Job Overview:  

We are looking for a Senior Optical Test Engineer to lead the measurement, characterization, and interpretation of our silicon photonics and optical switching platforms.

This is an optical engineering and experimental physics role, not a test software or station automation role.

You will define how optical performance is measured, design rigorous characterization experiments, analyze complex optical datasets, and translate measurement results into actionable insights for photonics, MEMS, packaging, systems, and product engineering teams.

The ideal candidate combines a deep understanding of optical measurement physics with strong experimental instincts and quantitative analysis skills. You should be equally comfortable configuring an optical experiment, questioning whether a measurement is trustworthy, analyzing large datasets, identifying unexpected behavior, and explaining what the results reveal about the underlying device or system.

You will play a critical role in closing the loop between device design, fabrication, packaging, optical performance, and product validation.

nEye.ai is an Equal Opportunity Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.   We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
