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 effective.
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.
This isn’t incremental innovation, it’s a ground-floor opportunity to rethink the optical layer from the silicon up. The market is moving fast, and we’re moving faster. You’ll work alongside a team of world-class engineers solving some of the hardest challenges in optics, systems, and scale. Every line of code, every design decision, every breakthrough you help deliver will shape the infrastructure of tomorrow.
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.
About the role. You will build the executable model of the chip before silicon exists.



Your architecture models will settle the decisions that are expensive to change late, including datapath latency, throughput, buffer sizing, and control-loop tuning. Your reference models will become the golden checkers the verification team scores against, and the platform will run real firmware months ahead of RTL. This is a founding, critical-path role: the virtual platform is what unblocks the firmware and architecture work in parallel with design.
What You'll Own
- A SystemC/TLM-2.0 virtual platform — MCU (ISS-backed) + peripherals + memory map + a UCIe transactor + host stub — that firmware runs on pre-RTL.
- Architecture/performance models: architectural trade studies, end-to-end datapath throughput and latency, FIFO/buffer sizing, design-space/configuration exploration.
- Golden reference models handed to DV as scoreboards.
- Behavioral models of the analog and control circuits.
- Partner with the FE ar
