Manufacturing Process Engineer

About this role

About OLIX 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. The Role As a Manufacturing Process Engineer at OLIX, you will be responsible for turning our optical interconnect technology for co-packaged optics (CPO) into scalable, manufacturable, and reliable hardware.

You will work closely with our development team in London to establish high-throughput, high-yield manufacturing processes, then transfer those processes to our manufacturing partners and support them through ramp. This is a hands-on, high-impact role. The lines you build are how our optical interconnect reaches production. The role involves extensive travel (up to 50% of the time), including to our manufacturing partner sites.

Responsibilities Establish and qualify robust, high-throughput, high-yield manufacturing lines for our optical interconnect technology Work with our manufacturing partners to establish high throughput, high yielding manufacturing lines and support those partners through qualification and volume ramp Specify, commission and qualify production equipment Develop new and improved manufacturing processes, and drive continuous improvement in throughput and yield Improve process capability through statistical process control Represent OLIX to the management, engineering and production teams at our manufacturing partners Collaborate across R&D, Process Engineering, Equipment Engineering, Characterisation & Test and Production, within OLIX and at our partners, to hit project milestones Contribute to strategic IP development and patents Ensure compliance with site and factory protocols and safety regulations Skills & Experience Bachelor’s degree in Materials Science, Physics, Electrical Engineering, Chemistry or a related field Experience with process development in high-volume, high-technology manufacturing (e.g.
