Position Description

Ayar Labs, the global leader in optical I/O chiplets, is harnessing silicon photonics to revolutionize the scaling of AI compute hardware. AyarLabs is shattering AI data bottlenecks by moving data at the speed of light. As pioneers of co-packaged optics (CPO), we are using light instead of electricity to move data faster, further, and with a fraction of the energy needed to fuel the explosive growth of AI models.

Backed by industry giants like NVIDIA, AMD and Intel and manufactured in partnership with the world’s leading semiconductor ecosystem, Ayar Labs’ co-packaged optics solution is key to unleashing next-generation AI scale-up architectures.

In this internship, you'll help maintain project schedules, coordinate with cross-functional and manufacturing partners, prepare status reports/dashboards, and support program reviews. This is a great hands-on opportunity for students interested in engineering, business, or operations to learn program management at a cutting-edge technology company.

Intern Skillset Needed
  • Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
  • Proficiency with scheduling/tracking tools (MS Project, Smartsheet, Excel) and PowerPoint
  • Clear written and verbal communication
  • Comfortable working across US-Asia time zones with cross-functional and manufacturing teams
  • Coursework or interest in engineering, business, or supply chain/operations
  • Adaptable and comfortable with ambiguity in a fast-paced startup
Education Requirements
  • Candidate should be actively pursuing a Master’s or higher degree in Silicon Hardware, Mechanical Engineering, Photonics, or related field
Pay Range: $50 - 60/hourly, depending on education level
