Position DescriptionAyar 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.
The exceptional Hardware Engineering Intern candidate will have strong physics and electrical engineering fundamentals from their coursework, and have the motivation to apply their learnings to practical design work. The core responsibility of the Hardware Engineering Intern will be to support the hardware engineering team of Ayar Labs in the design, layout and bringup of printed circuit boards (PCB) towards the validation and test of novel optical engine chiplets. This is a unique opportunity for a growing engineer to be exposed to a novel NPI environment, and be developing hardware on the edge of High Performance Computing advancements.
Intern Skillset Needed - Fundamental Electronics and Physics
