Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
The intern will either design and test specialized electrical hardware for silicon photonics or develop Python-based tools for measurement uncertainty estimation and data analysis. Both roles involve supporting R&D activities to optimize the performance of semiconductor chips.
Candidates should have a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field and proficiency in Python for data analysis. Strong communication skills, a curious mindset, and an interest in silicon chip manufacturing are essential.
Data traffic is exploding! At Lumiphase, we are on a mission to create the fastest and most energy-efficient communication chip the world has ever seen – to enable global IT infrastructure to handle this massive increase in data.
We are a young and dynamic deep-tech startup, based in the Zürich area, Switzerland.
Lumiphase was founded in 2020, after nearly 10 years of research within IBM. We currently have
50+ strong talents on the team, and we support the growth of our students and recent graduates.
Our team hosts working students and interns for 6-12 months, beginning in Spring and Autumn every year. Upon joining, you will work in tight interaction with one or more Lumiphase R&D teams. Every year, we have internships in many different areas.
When applying please specify which project you are interested in
For the upcoming Autumn semester, we offer the following 2 projects:
During this internship project, you will collaborate closely with our R&D engineers to design, build, and validate a new test setup, including custom electrical circuits and automation solutions. You will gain hands-on experience in electrical hardware design, advanced testing methodologies, and automation, engaging in both conceptual and practical lab work to advance our industry-driven R&D activities. Your daily tasks may include:
We are seeking a motivated candidate with a strong interest in silicon chip manufacturing and testing. Desired qualifications:
During this internship project, you will collaborate closely with R&D engineers to strengthen our data analysis and automatic test equipment validation capabilities for silicon photonics testing. The project will focus on deriving measurement uncertainties and building a scalable framework for error analysis.
You will have the chance to gain hands-on experience with our data analysis workflows and pipelines. A strong emphasis will be placed on working with real measurement data (primarily chip-level testing datasets), bridging data science with experimental physics. The project scope includes:
We are seeking a motivated candidate with a strong interest in silicon chip testing and data analysis with:
For all projects major requirements are:
Please be aware that if you are a non-EU national and your internship is not mandatory as part of your university program, we will unfortunately not be able to provide visa support.
We have developed a unique technology to bring a material with extremely strong Pockels coefficient into a scalable silicon photonics platform. Having this physical effect available in integrated photonic circuits has been a scientific and technological breakthrough, which enables the realization of advanced photonic structures and completely new applications, e.g. for photonic AI networks and quantum computing. At Lumiphase, we are bringing this new technology to market, while at the same time developing new scientific and technological concepts. The internship projects are placed at the heart of our R&D activities and will ensure that our groundbreaking semiconductor chips can realize their full performance potential with appropriate electrical, optical and mechanical integration solutions.
In addition, we provide an agile environment with plenty of opportunities for our young talents to develop their skills and ideally to become permanent team members. And we have a lot of fun together as well!
As an intern, you will also have access to a range of benefits, including:
Join Lumiphase's dynamic team as an intern in Silicon Photonics. Drive innovation in communication technology and contribute to a future of faster, energy-efficient networks. Apply now and make an impact!
