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!
We are hiring a Hardware System Engineer to help drive post-silicon planning and
