What are the responsibilities and job description for the Intern, Validation Engineer - Laser Engineering (Die) position at Ayar Labs?
Intern, Validation Engineer - Laser Engineering (Die)
Location: San Jose, CA (onsite)
Org: Laser Engineering
Summary of position:
Ayar Labs, the global leader in optical I/O chiplets, is harnessing silicon photonics to revolutionize the scaling of AI compute hardware, and address I/O bottlenecks in the datacenter. The future of computing with advanced optical interconnects requires an advanced source of light.
We are looking for a motivated undergraduate or graduate intern to join our laser engineering team as Intern Validation Engineer. The laser die validation position will involve performing in-depth characterization of lasers meant to power Ayar Labs’ advanced optical I/O chiplet interconnect solution. The goal is to advance development of our industry-first PIC-based multiwavelength laser light-sources. By the end of the internship, a successful candidate will be deeply knowledgeable in laser test methodology, and will also have gained a broad understanding of the exciting work in a leading late-stage semiconductor startup, silicon photonics based optical I/O technology, and its place in future scaled AI compute hardware.
Projects are tailored to your experience and interests, and you will be mentored by a senior engineer as you work alongside world-class engineers and scientists in the field of electronics and photonics to help drive the optical I/O revolution.
Essential Functions:
Perform in-depth characterization of lasers meant to power Ayar Labs’ advanced optical I/O chiplet interconnect solution.

Ayar Labs:
At Ayar Labs we’re about to revolutionize computing by moving data with light. We’re unleashing processing power for artificial intelligence, high performance computing, cloud and telecommunications by removing the bottlenecks created by today’s electrical I/O -- making it possible to continue scaling computing system performance. Ayar Labs is the first to deliver an optical I/O solution that combines in-package optical I/O chiplets and multi-wavelength remote light sources to replace traditional electrical I/O. This silicon photonics-based I/O solution enables chips to communicate with each other across distances spanning from millimeters to kilometers, to deliver orders of magnitude improvements in latency, bandwidth density, and power consumption.
With our strong collaborations with industry leaders and government, our deep ties to MIT, UC Berkeley, University of Colorado Boulder, and Boston University, and our commitment to hiring the best engineers in photonics and electronics, joining our team gives you the opportunity to collaborate with renowned experts on challenging, paradigm-shifting work.
We are passionate about delivering in-package optical I/O at scale, leveraging the strength of our patent portfolio and our team of leading interdisciplinary experts. We believe that deep cross-collaboration between teams facilitated by honest, open debate and a supportive culture is the best way to drive innovation and achieve big wins. The Summer Internship Program has been an integral part of the DNA of the company since its founding in 2015, and former interns occupy leading engineering positions both at Ayar Labs today, and at a number of other leading companies in the field. Join our team and our mission!
