Test Automation Engineer
HyperLight is a venture-backed startup spun off from Harvard University in 2018 and built on discoveries that enabled thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) photonics. Our photonic integrated circuits offer exceptional performance unmatched by other materials and are manufactured at high volume and low cost. We design and manufacture tailored chips to customers around the world for optical communications, sensing, and emerging photonic technologies like quantum computing and AR/VR. We partner with our customers from conceptualization to mass production to deliver new regimes of system performance.
Our growing team is looking for a Test Automation Engineer. This person will use their software and hardware skills to build automated wafer test systems that characterize our photonic integrated circuits. Their contributions will be essential in building cloud-based data pipelines for processing, storing, and analyzing raw collected data. At HyperLight, we aim to maximize the productivity of our small team by automating away repetitive work. Our Test Automation Engineer will help lead us toward that vision.
The success of the HyperLight team originates in individuals who strive for excellence and continuous learning, and practice humility and care for their teammates. If this sounds like you, we encourage you to apply!
We provide :
Market competitive compensation.Comprehensive health coverage: family and individual plans, vision, dental.401(k) retirement plans with employee matching.Life and disability insurance.Commuter benefits and subsidies.Flexible hybrid work and vacation policies.Professional growth and mentorship opportunities.Responsibilities include :
Specify, architect, implement, and support test automation software that allows our engineers to efficiently specify measurement and data analysis logic.Contribute to data pipelines for automated processing measurement results using commercial cloud tool chains.Own the development and improvement of measurement techniques, data analysis methods, and test procedures for characterizing photonic integrated circuits.Perform wafer and/or chip level measurements on our photonic integrated circuits.Act as a technical leader and mentor for our measurement team in test automation and software engineering best practices.Ideal qualifications :
Either 3+ years of relevant work experience or an advanced degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Computer Science or a related field.Hands-on experience in using and automating laboratory instruments and/or manufacturing tools.Strong software engineering skills for automation of test and measurement equipment.Strong expertise with version control and other software engineering best practices.Expertise with the Python programming language strongly preferred.Expertise with common test equipment, such as oscilloscopes, swept laser systems, source measurement units, parameter analyzers, spectrum analyzers, VNAs, and switch matrices.Expertise with statistical data analysis, including topics such as exploratory data analysis, basic statistical tests, design of experiments, gauge repeatability, curve fitting, statistical process control, and machine learning.Familiarity with the working principles of photonic, semiconductor, or RF devices like lasers, electro-optic modulators, transmission lines, optical fiber, optical amplifiers, etc.Familiarity with data pipelines using commercial cloud tool chains preferred.
