R&D Operations & Automation Engineer Intern

HyperLight is at the forefront of the commercialization of thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) integrated photonics — a material and process technology that is enabling high-performance, scalable optical components across AI/datacom infrastructure, hyperscale computing, quantum computing, sensing, and more. Founded in 2018 and backed by leading venture capital, we've built a team and a platform focused on real-world mass deployment of TFLN photonics technology.

At the core of our work is the TFLN Chiplet™ platform — a modular, integrated architecture designed for scalability, manufacturability, and seamless integration into complex systems. It offers a rare combination of extraordinary performance and industrial readiness, enabling system developers across applications to deploy the technology quickly and at scale. We partner with our customers and suppliers from conceptualization, design, and prototyping through mass production to ensure smooth and rapid deployment of TFLN photonic technology.

As HyperLight continues to grow, we are looking for an R&D Operations & Automation Engineer Intern to join our team. This role provides a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of R&D operations, engineering automation, data, and advanced photonic technology.

You will work closely with R&D and cross-functional engineering teams to improve how development activities are planned, executed, tracked, and analyzed. You will help ide
