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:
nEye is seeking a Principal Silicon Photonics Layout Engineer to actively lead the company’s design and tapeout of complex Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) using a code-based, functional layout methodology.
In this role, you will be responsible for architecting and maintaining a robust script-based library of parametric components. You will bridge the gap between optical physics and software engineering, ensuring layouts are highly reproducible and optimized for high-yield, production-scale fabrication. This position is ideal for a candidate who treats layout as a software engineering challenge and thrives in a programmatic, automation-first environment.
