Staff / Sr. Staff HW Test Automation Engineer
Lightmatter · Boston, MA
About this role
## Lightmatter — Staff / Sr. Staff HW Test Automation Engineer Lightmatter is leading the revolution in AI data center infrastructure, enabling next giant leaps in human progress. The company invented the world’s first 3D-stacked photonics engine, **Passage™**, capable of connecting thousands to millions of processors at the speed of light in extreme-scale data centers for advanced **AI and HPC** workloads. ### About the role **Product Engineering** builds the software that brings up, characterizes, and qualifies Lightmatter’s photonic chips on real hardware—from bench-top bring-up through production test on automated test equipment (ATE). You’ll write code that drives instruments, testers, wafer probers, and lab automation to bring a chip to life and prove it works. Test software infrastructure spans multiple platforms, including **wafer test**, **hardware validation**, and **laser/optical test**. This role often serves as a bridge between engineers working at the bench and the broader test software team. ### What you’ll do - Learn the hardware you’re automating well enough to make informed software decisions. - Design and build test software to automate device bring-up, characterization, and production test sequences across bench and ATE environments. - Develop and maintain test methods, test flows, and instrument control code (with code writing and review as daily responsibilities). - Partner with hardware and characterization engineers to translate device physics and test requirements into working, repeatable test software. - Build and maintain data logging and results pipelines so test data is captured accurately and is usable downstream (metrics, yield analysis, production handoff). - Debug hardware/software integration issues across the DUT, fixture, instrument, and test code to find root cause. - Support test program releases to internal test cells and, at senior levels, to external test facilities. - Communicate daily on progress and blockers, and spend regular time in the lab working hands-on with hardware. ### Qualifications (Additional qualifications were not included in the provided description.)
