Join us at Lumiphase!

At Lumiphase, we are on a mission to create the fastest and most energy-efficient communication chip the world has ever seen – to enable our global IT infrastructure to handle this exploding amount of data.

Our novel semiconductor chips are boosted by a unique optical crystal with incredible optical properties. Our chips enable faster networks that consume less energy and will allow everyone to be better connected in the future.

We are a young and dynamic start-up founded in 2020 by experts who have developed a game-changing photonic technology in the laboratories of IBM. We have assembled a passionate team dedicated to making our technology real and bringing new generations of communication chips to the market. As a rapidly growing company, we provide an agile environment for working at the forefront of cutting-edge technology and products that will have a strong impact on our society.

We built our company culture from day one, step by step, with the direct contribution of all our employees. Our culture finds its foundation in two core values:

  1. “Run, Don’t Rush” emphasizes the importance of maintaining a steady, purposeful pace to achieve excellence without compromising quality.
  2. “It’s BTO: It’s Better Together” highlights our commitment to teamwork and the belief that the only way to achieve our goals is by working in harmony and supporting each other.

At Lumiphase, we believe diversity strengthens our ability to achieve our mission. We are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where all individuals—regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation, physical ability, socio-economic background, or any other characteristic—feel valued, respected, and empowered.

Research shows that men apply to jobs if they meet ~60% of criteria, but women and those in traditionally underrepresented groups tend to apply only if they check all boxes. If you think you have what it takes but don’t meet every single point above, please still get in touch. We’d love to chat and see if you could be a great fit.

Do you have got any questions? Please feel free to drop us an email at talents@lumiphase.com.
