About Sygaldry Technologies

Sygaldry builds quantum-accelerated AI servers to exponentially speed up AI training and inference, cutting compute costs and improving energy efficiency. Backed by Y Combinator.

About the role

We are seeking a Nanophotonics Fabrication Engineer to develop and execute fabrication processes for photonic devices and test structures. You will own process development, cleanroom fabrication, characterization, and yield improvement, working closely with design and experimental teams. The ideal candidate has substantial hands-on nanofabrication experience, enjoys troubleshooting complex process flows, and takes pride in careful documentation and reproducible results. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • A B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, Applied Physics, or a related field. Significant hands-on fabrication experience is especially valued
  • Substantial cleanroom experience and demonstrated ownership of process development or troubleshooting for a multistep microfabrication or nanofabrication flow
  • Practical experience with high-resolution lithography and pattern transfer, including an understanding of how process variation affects device geometry and performance
  • Experience with microscopy and metrology for process characterization, defect analysis, and process control
  • Strong experimental design and data analysis skills, with experience using Python or similar tools
  • The ability to work independently, communicate results clearly, and collaborate across technical disciplines
More about this role

Sygaldry Technologies is building quantum-accelerated AI servers to exponentially speed up training and inference for AI. By integrating quantum and AI, we're accelerating the path to superintelligence, and addressing the problem of rising compute costs and energy bottlenecks. Sygaldry AI servers combine multiple qubit types within a single, fault-tolerant architecture to deliver the combination of cost, scale, and speed necessary for advanced AI applications. We pioneer new domains in physics, engineering, and AI, tackling the hardest challenges with a grounded, optimistic, and rigorous culture. We're looking for individuals ready to define the intersection of quantum and AI and drive its profound global impact.
