About Celestial AI

As Generative AI continues to advance, the performance drivers for data center infrastructure are shifting from systems-on-chip (SOCs) to systems of chips. In the era of Accelerated Computing, data center bottlenecks are no longer limited to compute performance, but rather the system’s interconnect bandwidth, memory bandwidth, and memory capacity. Celestial AI’s Photonic Fabric™ is the next-generation interconnect technology that delivers a tenfold increase in performance and energy efficiency compared to competing solutions.

The Photonic Fabric™ is available to our customers in multiple technology offerings, including optical interface chiplets, optical interposers, and Optical Multi-chip Interconnect Bridges (OMIB). This allows customers to easily incorporate high bandwidth, low power, and low latency optical interfaces into their AI accelerators and GPUs. The technology is fully compatible with both protocol and physical layers, including standard 2.5D packaging processes. This seamless integration enables XPUs to utilize optical interconnects for both compute-to-compute and compute-to-memory fabrics, achieving bandwidths in the tens of terabits per second with nanosecond latencies.

This innovation empowers hyperscalers to enhance the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of AI processing by optimizing the XPUs required for training and inference, while significantly reducing the TCO2 impact. To bolster customer collaborations, Celestial AI is developing a Photonic Fabric ecosystem consisting of tier-1 partnerships that include custom silicon/ASIC design, system integrators, HBM memory, assembly, and packaging suppliers.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are seeking an Optical Test Engineer, based in our Singapore office, to operate and maintain wafer-scale probe stations for silicon photonics testing. In this role, you will execute and refine optical and opto-electronic test procedures, ensure reliable data collection across passive and active components, and work closely with the engineering team in the US to support development and production testing.

What We Do

Celestial AI is a Machine Learning (ML) accelerator company that has developed a proprietary technology platform which enables the next generation of high-performance computing solutions. Celestial AI’s mission is to transform data parallel computing with a proprietary Photonic Fabric™ technology platform which uses light for data movement both within chip and between chips.

Advancements in data communications have driven robust silicon photonics technology and volume manufacturing ecosystems that are ripe for commercial implementation of ML and high-performance computing (HPC) solutions which leverage integrated silicon photonics for data movement.

Celestial AI’s system delivers differentiated single node performance that scales efficiently, providing significant performance gains for multi-node and multi model applications. The scalability of Celestial AI’s accelerator architecture enables an efficient and performant mapping of data and compute over a broad range of ML model types without the need for complex software optimizations. Celestial AI’s competitive advantage will further grow over time as ML models continue to increase in complexity and size.

Celestial AI has assembled a highly experienced team of industry leaders who have a track record of building multiple successful technology businesses. The company’s Orion AI accelerator products serve an addressable market that is projected by Omida to exceed $70 billion in 2025
