Lead Hardware Engineer, Digital & Embedded Systems

About Us We are nEye: a well-funded optical switch startup poised to revolutionize the future of data centers. nEye's MEMS-based silicon photonics optical circuit switches (OCS) eliminate critical bottlenecks in AI processing by enabling direct optical connections among thousands of GPUs and memory units. The company's SuperSwitch is an ultra-low power consumption, high radix, compact chip-scale design, offering hyperscale data centers enhanced performance, efficiency, and scalability. Role Overview We're seeking a Lead Hardware Engineer to drive the design and development of advanced digital and embedded control systems for nEye's next-generation optical switching platforms. This role complements our existing ASIC design leadership by focusing on embedded controller architecture, memory systems (Flash, DDR), high-speed interfaces, and overall digital board design. While some FPGA integration is required, the primary focus is on robust microcontroller/processor-based control systems, i...
