About OLIX

The latest generation of AI models achieves breakthrough performance by spending vastly more tokens to solve complex problems. Demand is now compounding faster than the infrastructure beneath it can scale. The constraint sits in how tokens are made. Backed by Creandum.

About the role

We're looking for a Director of Test Engineering to develop and industrialize the test solutions required to support OLIX's next-generation AI computing solution. You'll own manufacturing test strategy, test architecture, equipment, automation, and test processes across component, subsystem, and final product test, ensuring scalable test capability that meets quality, coverage, cycle time, and cost objectives from NPI through high-volume manufacturing.

What they're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Optical Engineering, or related technical discipline
  • 15+ years of engineering leadership experience in Test Engineering, Manufacturing Test, or Product Test within semiconductor, photonics, electronics, or advanced computing, including at least five years leading teams
  • Subject matter expertise in manufacturing test architecture, test equipment, instrumentation, fixtures, automation, and test software
  • Experience developing and qualifying test solutions for complex electrical, optical, and high-speed products from NPI through high-volume manufacturing
  • Proven success optimizing test coverage, yield, throughput, cycle time, repeatability, and cost
  • Experience developing automated test systems and analyzing test data to identify failures, improve test capability, and drive manufacturing performance
More about this role

AI is growing faster than any technology in history and the explosion in demand has created a massive infrastructure gap; we can no longer build chips or power stations fast enough to keep up. The industry is still leaning on a ten-year-old hardware blueprint that has reached its limit. A new paradigm that is faster and more efficient will be the biggest economic opportunity of the next century and create the most important company of the next decade. The OLIX Decode Accelerator 1 (DX-1) is the first accelerator architected specifically for decode. Rack-scale co-design of logic, data movement, packaging, optics and interconnect enables a step change in system level performance.
