Lightmatter is solving the problem of enabling next-generation AI and HPC workloads through the development of extreme-scale data center infrastructure using its 3D-stacked photonics engine, Passage™.

Requirements

  • 5 years of related experience with a PhD, or 8 years with a Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, or related disciplines.
  • Highly proficient in digital and/or analog modeling in software.
  • 2+ years of experience in Python, MATLAB, C++ or other scripting/coding language.
  • Familiar with hardware description and/or verification languages such as Verilog, VHDL, SystemVerilog, or VerilogA.
  • Expertise in verification and testing methodologies, including the development and execution of comprehensive hardware and software testing activities.
  • Experience with version control systems, particularly Git, and issue tracking tools like JIRA.
  • Experience with cocotb or other coroutine-based cosimulation testbench environment for verifying verilog, VHDL, verilogA and/or SystemVerilog using Python.

Responsibilities

  • Develop, enhance, and maintain models in digital, analog, and photonics domains.
  • Integrate and maintain a mixed-signal, co-simulation framework built on top of multiple simulators (e.g., Xcelium, Spectre, Python + cocotb).
  • Write and maintain code in Python and System Verilog to support modeling and simulation across multiple domains.
