Engineer, Hardware Test Software

Job Location: On-site in San Jose

Ayar Labs is shattering AI data bottlenecks by moving data at the speed of light. As pioneers of co-packaged optics (CPO), we are using light instead of electricity to move data faster, further, and with a fraction of the energy needed to fuel the explosive growth of AI models. Backed by industry giants like NVIDIA, AMD, Mediatek and Intel and manufactured in partnership with the worldโ€™s leading semiconductor ecosystem, Ayar Labsโ€™ co-packaged optics solution is key to unleashing next-generation AI scale-up architectures.

As an Engineer in the Software Infrastructure group of the Product and Test Engineering department, you will be expected to execute assigned software development tasks independently, applying standard engineering techniques and judgment to adapt solutions that will enable high volume production of our SuperNova and TeraPHY parts. You will work closely with your colleagues in the Product and Test Engineering department to help them consolidate, standardize, test, and release instrument drivers, test recipes, and other software solutions. You will be joining a small team in a dynamic startup environment, where you are expected to take on a wide range of responsibilities with guidance from senior engineers and team leads, and to learn and grow with the company.

  • Write Python software to automate experimental runs and data analyses
  • Troubleshoot issues related to optical instruments, electrical components, or software
  • Identify gaps in Test coverage, design, and flow. Implement new Tests to improve coverage
  • Implement improvements to Test flows and processes to enable high volume manufacturing
  • Collaborate with Ayar Labs Data Engineering to ensure that Test results flow smoothly into our internal database
  • Collaborate with the Product and Test Engineering department to support software needs while following best practices for version control and documentation
  • Escalate and help resolve software/firmware issues with equipment vendors
  • Provide regular updates to team leads on project status, flagging blockers and proposing solutions within assigned scope
Required Qualifications
  • BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field with 1+ years of industry experience; or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field with 0โ€“2 years of industry experience
  • Proficiency with Python; familiarity with C/C++ or Java
  • Proficiency with instrument communication protocols (GPIB, RS232, USB, etc)
  • Proficiency writing and debugging programs for instrument control
  • Proficiency with Git, unit testing and CI/CD
  • Working knowledge of data structures and algorithms
  • Proficiency working with MongoDB and SQL databases like PostGresSQL
Preferred Qualifications
  • Proficiency with C/C++ or Java
  • Experience with agentic coding (claude or gemini)
  • Experience with chip communication protocols (SPI, I2C, UART, etc)
  • Experience working in Linux environments
  • Familiarity with Jira or similar project management system

Annual salary range: $130k - $160k
