Neurophos
The Staff Optomechanical Design Engineer designs the mechanical hardware for free-space optical assemblies, translating optical prescriptions into robust mechanical architectures that maintain precision across temperature and time. This role involves leading tolerance analysis, developing metrology and active-alignment systems, and driving design for manufacturing to transition prototypes into volume production. The position requires close collaboration with optical, photonics, and manufacturing engineers to ensure high-performance AI compute hardware.
Neurophos builds photonic AI processors designed for large-scale inference workloads. Their flagship product, the T100 OPU (Optical Processing Unit), delivers exaflop-scale inference at 50× the speed and 30× the energy efficiency of leading GPUs like the NVIDIA B200, by performing matrix multiplication in the photonic domain on a compact 25mm² CMOS-compatible die. The T100 compresses rack-level AI compute into a single package, with the Tulkas T100 scheduled to ship in 2028.
