More about this role
Photonium builds next-generation design software for optical systems. Manually designing optical hardware is a costly bottleneck for fields like quantum computing, life sciences, LiDAR, and advanced manufacturing. We develop intuitive tools and intelligent automation to help engineers design optical systems faster and cheaper. Photonium is backed by Y Combinator (X25) and part of the NVIDIA inception program.
This is a full-time on-site role for a Founding Machine Learning Engineer, located in NYC. The Founding ML Engineer will be responsible for the design and implementation of our optical design agent. You’ll develop ML models that generate candidate configurations, interface with simulation or analysis tools to evaluate performance, and implement learning loops to improve design outcomes over time.
