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. 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.

Position Overview

We are seeking a highly motivated, intelligent, and flexible Component Engineer to ensure the components that underpin our systems from VRMs to high-speed connectors meet our standards for performance, manufacturability, long-term supply stability, and reliability at scale. This role reports to the Head of Quality and Reliability with a strong “dotted line” to Electrical Engineering R&D.

This position plays a critical part in scaling our data center infrastructure design and production, sitting at the intersection of electrical engineering, quality and reliability, supply chain, and manufacturing. The Component Engineer owns the technical and lifecycle integrity of electronic components used in Lumilens product, and supporting subsystems. By driving evaluation and qualification efforts and smoothing supply chain obstacles, this position enables acceleration of design and production.

Key Responsibilities:

Supporting production to test and resolve technical and quality issues related to Key Components

Work with production and coordinate internal engineering teams to improve Key Component yield and test

Leading technical testing and analysis to support early Joint Validation, and debug efforts

Work closely with component vendor, RD engineering, Lab, Components PMs & System teams to ensure quality & qualification of components

Plan and modify Key Component configurations to meet customer needs to optimize Server/Work Station Applications

Assist internal PMs to assess their Key Component Product requirements for Server/Work Stations, and to create product specifications and documents, conduct tactical competitive analysis, and critical situation management

Prepare and present technical presentations that explain the Key Component Products to customers, and internal PM teams to sell existing products and promote discussion for development for future Server/Workstation sales

Support internal engineering teams in failure analysis and defining corrective actions

Provide technical proposal for specific customer requirements, including request for proposal responses and industry- specific solutions for Key Components
