Position Description

Ayar Labs, the global leader in optical I/O chiplets, is harnessing silicon photonics to revolutionize the scaling of AI compute hardware. Ayar Labs is shattering AI data bottlenecks by moving data at the speed of light. As pioneers of co-packaged optics (CPO), we are using light instead of electricity to move data faster, further, and with a fraction of the energy needed to fuel the explosive growth of AI models.

Backed by industry giants like NVIDIA, AMD and Intel and manufactured in partnership with the world’s leading semiconductor ecosystem, Ayar Labs’ co-packaged optics solution is key to unleashing next-generation AI scale-up architectures.

We are looking for a motivated undergraduate or graduate intern to join our Post-Si Validation team to play a pivotal role in the validation efforts that ensure our groundbreaking products meet and exceed both component and system-level requirements. You will also collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams to identify and implement product improvements through Automatic Test Equipment (ATE), bench characterization, and other techniques. The projects are tailored to your experience and interests, and you will be mentored by a senior engineer as you work alongside with Ayar Labs engineers to help drive the optical I/O revolution.

If you are passionate about solving complex technical challenges and an interest in laser, photonics, CMOS, and system-level concepts, this is your chance to assist in the future of interconnect technology.

Intern Skillset Needed

• Familiarity with high-speed test equipment (BERT, DCA, OSA, etc.) and SI analysis
• Strong programming skills in Python for test automation and data analysis
• Good understanding of optical transceiver architecture
• Highly-motivated student who is able to work collaboratively and independently, and can self-manage time effectively to take projects to completion.

Education Requirements

• Candidate should be actively pursuing a Master's in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field

Pay Range: $50 - 60/hourly, depending on education level
