About Lumilens

At Lumilens we are building the critical photonics infrastructure that powers tomorrow’s AI supercomputing. From chip-to-chip optical interconnects to scalable photonic engines, Lumilens is unlocking a new era of computing faster, cooler, and massively more efficient.

We’re a well-funded startup backed by Mayfield and led by veterans who’ve built and scaled some of the most transformative technologies in the industry. At Lumilens, we’re developing high-speed photonics products purpose-built to power the future of AI infrastructure and high-performance computing.

This isn’t incremental innovation, it’s a ground-floor opportunity to rethink the optical layer from the silicon up. You’ll work alongside a team of world class engineers solving some of the hardest challenges in scaling optical systems. Every line of code, every design decision, every breakthrough you help deliver will shape the infrastructure of tomorrow.

If you're looking for mission, momentum, and the chance to make an outsized impact, jump on the rocket ship. We’re just getting started.

About the Role

As an Optical Product Test Engineer specializing in software automation, you will work on test automation and networking protocols. You will help validate complex systems at Layer 1 and Layer 2 using tools like Ixia and build Python based frameworks.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop, maintain, and execute automated test cases in Python.
• Perform functional, regression, and performance testing on Layer 1 and Layer network systems.
• Validate hardware and software integration with optical interfaces and network switches.
• Configure and use traffic generators (e.g., IXIA) to simulate network environments and evaluate performance.
• Collaborate with developers and hardware engineers to identify, reproduce, and resolve defects.
• Document test cases, results, and defects in test management tools.
• Maintain code and test assets in version control systems (GitHub or Bitbucket). Continuously improve test frameworks and methodologies.
• Collaborate with design engineer and manufacturing teams to define and develop the test software for the high volume manufacturing of the high-end optical component manufacturing
• Closely collaborate with engineering teams to improve manufacturing yield, efficiency and cost
• Owner of Manufacturing test scripts creating, maintaining, changing control.
• Manage manufacturing software change control processes, system, through the execution.
• Collaborate with software engineer, IT and database to define the better solutions of manufacturing test data in reliability, reasonable cost, high efficiency and scalability.
