Job Description

About us:
Aevas mission is to bring the next wave of perception to a broad range of applications from automated driving to industrial robotics consumer electronics consumer health security and beyond. Aeva is transforming autonomy with its groundbreaking sensing and perception technology that integrates all key LiDAR components onto a silicon photonics chip in a compact module. Aeva 4D LiDAR sensors uniquely detect instant velocity in addition to 3D position allowing autonomous devices like vehicles and robots to make more intelligent and safe decisions.

We are looking for a photonics design engineer to develop nextgeneration silicon photonic integrated circuits for FMCW lidar systems.

What youll do

    • Design passive and active photonic devices and circuits including various types of couplers/splitters phase shifters photodetectors as well as novel concept devices.
    • Develop comprehensive simulation and modelling algorithms to predict performance from detailed EM simulations to Monte Carlo analysis of complex circuits
    • Perform layout of nextgen photonic structures to convey design intent
    • Work closely with a PIC architecture team to define component level requirements and development plans.
    • Analyse test data from wafer and bar level characterizations and identify performance gaps and improvement paths.
    • Assist with the measurement of novel devices and circuits to extract design parameters to feed into subsequent iterations
    • Work crossfunctionally and deliver technical results as well as recommendations.

What you have

    • 8 years of silicon photonics device design simulation and test/ validation of photonic components
    • Strong knowledge and handson experience in photonic components and integrated circuits.
    • Deep understanding of electronics thermal mechanical interactions with the Photonics
    • Design and tapeout experience using a commercial silicon photonics foundry or inhouse PDK.
    • Proficiency in software tools commonly used in photonics design and data analysis such as Lumerical Fimmwave Matlab and Python.
    • Familiarity with the semiconductor fabrication process.
    • Ability to work crossfunctionally as a team player in a dynamic environment.

Nice to have

    • Experience in statistical analysis with large data sets.
    • Experience in programmingbased mask layout software.

Whats in it for you

    • Be part of a fast paced and dynamic team
    • Very competitive compensation and meaningful stock grants
    • Exceptional benefits: Medical Dental Vision and more
    • Unlimited PTO: We care about results not punching timecards
