Full Job Description
About Lumilens At Lumilens we are building the critical photonics infrastructure that powers tomorrow’s AI supercomputing. From chip-to-chip optical interconnects to scalable photonic engines, Lumilens is unlocking a new era of computing - faster, cooler, and massively more efficient. We’re a well-funded startup backed by Mayfield and led by veterans who’ve built and scaled some of the most transformative technologies in the industry. At Lumilens, we’re developing high-speed photonics products purpose-built to power the future of AI infrastructure and high-performance computing. This isn’t incremental innovation, it’s a ground-floor opportunity to rethink the optical layer from the silicon up. You’ll work alongside a team of world-class engineers solving some of the hardest challenges in scaling optical systems. If you're looking for mission, momentum, and the chance to make an outsized impact, jump on the rocket ship. We’re just getting started. Position Overview We are seeking a hands-on Mechanical Product Engineer to serve as the primary mechanical engineering interface between Lumilens’ hardware design teams and our worldwide contract manufacturers (CM) and supplier network. In this role you are the mechanical DRI (Directly Responsible Individual) for the manufacturing launch, sustaining, and continuous improvement of Lumilens’ next-generation optical and AI infrastructure. You will own the full arc from early development engagements, through NPI build planning, through volume production release—driving quality, cost, yield, and schedule with the CMs and key suppliers while partnering upstream with Optical, Hardware, and Mechanical Design Engineering teams. This role focuses on precision mechanical design, product packaging, structural design, thermal/mechanical considerations, and system integration—turning loosely defined requirements into robust, manufacturable hardware. This position is ideal for an engineer who combines deep mechanical product knowledge wit
