Full Job Description
ABOUT NEUROPHOS The demand for new datacenters and AI compute is rapidly outpacing the planet's energy capacity. Digital solutions are hitting a power wall as we approach the physical limits of traditional silicon. Conquering this bottleneck isn’t about bigger chips or more of them; it means rethinking the fundamental architecture. The industry's current path isn’t going to meet the need, so we took a different approach. Instead of traditional electronic circuits, we use silicon photonics and an active, programmable metasurface to perform matrix multiplications at the speed of light. Our optical cells are 10,000x smaller than traditional photonic components, enabling unprecedented density. By using photonics instead of electricity, our chips become more efficient as they scale. This architecture will deliver up to 100 times the energy efficiency of existing solutions while significantly improving performance for large-scale AI inference. We’ve assembled a world-class team of industry veterans and recently raised a $110M Series A https://www.neurophos.com/110m-raise led by Gates Frontier. Participants include M12 (Microsoft’s Venture Fund), Carbon Direct Capital, Aramco Ventures, Bosch Ventures, Tectonic Ventures, Space Capital, and others. We have also been recognized on the EE Times Silicon 100 list for several consecutive years. Join us and shape the future of computing! POSITION OVERVIEW Neurophos is seeking a hands-on Senior Manager of OPU Product Board Design to own the full board design function across two tightly coupled domains: conventional computer hardware board design and optoelectronics board integration. This is a senior technical leadership role with direct ownership of all OPU product PCBs — from architecture and schematic capture through layout, bring-up, and production release. The right candidate will bring deep personal hands-on experience in high-speed digital board design and a working understanding of optoelectronic circuit integration (laser
