Integrated optical circuits for data centers, telecom, and quantum applications
HyperLight manufactures integrated photonic circuits using a stack centered on optical and electromagnetic simulation (Lumerical, Tidy3D, HFSS, COMSOL, Keysight ADS) plus photonic design tools (KLayout, PIC). The hiring profile is heavily weighted toward senior and mid-level engineering (28 of 32 open roles), with active recruitment across the US and Singapore—a geographic split that mirrors the capital-intensity of optical chip manufacturing. Pain-point clustering reveals the core challenge: scaling from lab prototypes to high-volume production while maintaining yield and reliability.
HyperLight designs and manufactures integrated optical circuits for telecom infrastructure, data centers, sensors, and quantum communications. The company operates in Cambridge, Massachusetts with 51–200 employees and is actively developing multiple product lines, including a standalone thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) platform and a hybrid TFLN-silicon-photonics chiplet platform. Current work spans system-level modeling, test-vehicle development (EVT, DVT, KGD), reliability qualification, and wafer-flow optimization. The organization is recruitment-focused on engineering talent, with distributed hiring in the US and Singapore, suggesting both R&D and manufacturing operations.
