Intern - Physical Design (Boston)

Lightmatter

Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.

We are hiring an Intern for our Physical Design team at Lightmatter! We are a photonic computer company redefining what computers and human beings are capable of by building the engines that will power discoveries and drive progress in a sustainable way. With modern human progress relying heavily on computers, the world has hit a dead end with traditional transistors, and the prospect of constantly building data centers is an environmental nightmare. Lightmatter has created a solution in photonic computing: using photons instead of electrons to take advantage of their higher bandwidth. We build chips for artificial intelligence computing. Our architecture leverages the unique properties of light to enable fast and efficient inference and training engines.

This internship will be from mid-May until the end of August. Candidates must be local to our Boston, MA office or Mountain View, CA

In this internship opportunity, you will work as part of the Physical Design team.

Learn the Physical Design flow at Lightmatter

Participate in Physical Design feasibility studies for our next generation project.

In conjunction with the Physical Design team - choose an aspect of the PD flow to improve or explore. This could be a new flow capability or feature, or a new method of processing or visualizing existing data.

Requirements

Currently enrolled in a graduate-level (Masters or PhD student) engineering university program - preferably with an ECE, EE or Computer Engineering degree
