We have several electrical, mechanical and software/firmware engineering openings in the area of Optical Wireless/Free Space Optics, and Lifi system development. Contact me in case you are interested.

Company Description Light Links, Inc. is redefining wireless communication with Wi-OW, a proprietary optical technology that can be seamlessly integrated into Wi-Fi networks. Wi-OW delivers license-free, gigabit-speed, ultra-low-latency wireless connectivity using optical beams, enabling line-of-sight as well as non-line-of-sight wireless architectures. This innovation significantly enhances wireless connectivity performance for ultra-low latency, bandwidth-intensive and security-sensitive applications. The company focuses on pushing the limits of conventional wireless systems by combining optical wireless/free-space optics and LiFi technologies. Team members collaborate on advanced hardware and firmware solutions that power next-generation wireless experiences.

Role Description These are full-time positions, remote but preferably on-site engineering roles based in Campbell/CA, with openings for electrical, mechanical, and software/firmware engineers focused on Optical Wireless/Free Space Optics and LiFi system development. Day-to-day responsibilities may include designing and prototyping optical wireless hardware, developing and testing embedded firmware and software for Wi-OW systems, and integrating optical solutions with existing Wi-Fi infrastructure. Engineers will perform simulations, laboratory experiments, and system-level testing to validate performance, reliability, and safety. The role involves close collaboration across disciplines to optimize system architecture, troubleshoot issues, and support deployment and maintenance of pilot and production systems. Team members are expected to document designs, contribute to continuous improvement, and participate in technical reviews and cross-functional discussions.
