About this role

Eliyan is building NuLink, a proprietary die-to-die chiplet interconnect fabric purpose-built for AI infrastructure at hyperscale. As we extend NuLink into optical domains, we are seeking a Chief Optical Engineer β€” an agile, deeply technical optical expert who bridges real-world photonic behavior and production-grade electrical IC design.

This is a dual-facing role. Internally, you will translate optical system realities into concrete EIC architecture direction, ensuring our silicon is robust, manufacturable, and field-deployable β€” not just spec-compliant. Externally, you will serve as Eliyan's optical authority in customer and partner engagements, reinforcing our technical credibility and participating in optical standards activities directly relevant to Eliyan's roadmap.
