Systems Software Engineer, Hardware Validation
About us:
Voyant Photonics builds silicon photonic chips that steer and switch light at high speed. They power next generation, chip-scale FMCW LiDAR for robotics and autonomy, and optical circuit switches (OCS) for AI data centers. Based in NYC, we’re a hands-on team designing, building, and deploying frontier hardware to solve problems that matter, from how machines see to how AI scales.
About the role
Our tech stack spans FPGA and ASIC logic, microcontroller firmware, Linux drivers and cross platform user-facing APIs, and every layer changes every week. We're hiring engineers, at more than one level, to keep them integrated, tested and releasable.
