LightSpeed Photonics is looking for a customer-facing Application Engineer to help translate advanced optical-interconnect technology into deployable AI, HPC, storage and data-centre systems.
About LightSpeed Photonics
LightSpeed Photonics is a deep-tech company developing compact optical interconnect solutions for AI, high-performance computing, storage and next-generation data centres.
Our flagship LightKonnect™ platform is a solderable near-package optical engine that brings high-bandwidth optical connectivity closer to GPUs, FPGAs, ASICs and processors—reducing power consumption, latency and board footprint.
We also develop LightPCIe™, a PCIe-over-fibre solution for rack-scale compute, accelerator and storage connectivity.
Headquartered in Singapore, with R&D; operations in Hyderabad, we work across photonics, high-speed electronics and advanced packaging to enable scalable data movement for the AI era.
About the role
As an Application Engineer,
you will bridge the gap between LightSpeed’s optical-interconnect technology and our customers’ system architectures.
You will work directly with system architects, CTOs, hardware designers, OEMs, chipmakers, data-centre companies and internal engineering teams.
The role combines:
• Solution architecting
• Customer technical consulting
• Pre-sales and post-sales engineering
• Product evaluation and PoC execution
• Design-in and design-win management
• Hardware integration and troubleshooting
• Technical documentation and demonstrations
You will guide customer programmes from early architectural discussions and product evaluation through PoC validation, design-in, design-win and production readiness.
Key responsibilities
Customer engagement and technical consulting
• Serve as the primary technical interface for customers evaluating LightKonnect™ and LightPCIe™
• Conduct architectural and system-level design reviews
• Understand customer constraints across signal i
