The next bottleneck in AI isn’t compute.
It’s connectivity.
We’re fixing it.
Come build what comes next.
Most companies iterate on what already exists. Avicena starts from first principles.
We’re a focused team tackling big, unsolved problems at the intersection of photonics and computing. This is a place for engineers who want to work on problems that are:- Fundamentally hard – physics, systems, and scale all collide
- High impact – our success meaningfully changes what’s possible
- End-to-end – from concept → design → build → validation
You won’t be maintaining legacy systems. You’ll be building what replaces them.
What You’ll Work On
This is not incremental work. These are foundational challenges.
- High-speed optical interconnects for next-gen AI systems
- Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) and system-level design
- Ultra-low power data transmission architectures
- Packaging, integration, and scaling of optical systems
- Bridging device physics → system performance
You’ll work across disciplines—devices, circuits, systems, and software—to build real, shipped technology.
