Test Operations Engineer

HyperLight is at the forefront of the commercialization of thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) integrated photonics - a material and process technology that is enabling high-performance, scalable optical components across AI/datacom infrastructure, hyperscale computing, quantum computing, sensing, and beyond. Founded in 2018 and backed by leading venture capital, we’ve built a team and a platform focused on real-world mass deployment of TFLN photonics technology.

At the core of our work is the TFLN Chiplet™ platform — a modular, integrated architecture designed for scalability, manufacturability, and seamless integration into complex systems. It offers a rare combination of extraordinary performance and industrial readiness, enabling system developers across applications to deploy the technology fast and ready. We partner with our customers and suppliers from conceptualization, design, and prototyping phases, all the way through mass production to ensure smooth and rapid deployment of TFLN photonic technology.

We believe our platform is the key, in the golden age of integrated photonics, to empower humanity to the next level. We assembled a world class team covering engineering, business and operations. We believe in the power of integrity, innovation, collaboration and pragmatic solutions. Our diverse team thrives on challenges and is united by a shared commitment to excellence. We take pride in tackling complex challenges with curiosity, humility, and a deep sense of care for one another.

We’re looking for a Test Operations Engineer to oversee and optimize test operations across HyperLight’s Foundry and Test OSAT partners. You’ll play a key role in ensuring data integrity, efficient workflow, and continuous yield improvement through collaboration and technical problem-solving.

Join us to make a real-world impact in a fast-paced, collaborative and high-growth environment!

• Interface and manage HyperLight’s Foundry and Test OSAT partners.
• Ensure test data from foundry and OSAT are accurate, complete, and traceable.
• Manage test schedules and priorities to ensure timely execution.
• Collaborate across teams to troubleshoot and resolve yield and test issues.
• Implement corrective actions at foundry and OSAT, and track their impact.
• Generate and maintain work instructions to the latest requirements.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives for production workflows.
• Optimize wafer flow from Foundry to OSAT with the operations team.
• Partner with test engineers to reduce test time while maintaining quality.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Mechanical, or Materials Engineering (or equivalent).
• 3+ years’ experience in semiconductor production or test engineering.
• Strong understanding of wafer-level and final test processes.
• Proven ability to analyze test data and implement yield improvements.
• Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.
• Experience with photonics manufacturing, SPC/FMEA, or Lean practices a plus.

Benefits

• Competitive market-based compensation and benefits
