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.
Role Overview:
As a Photonics Lidar Technical Lead you will be partnering with cross functional teams to deliver photonics based FMCW lidar systems to the market. You will engage with the internal teams to model and analyze novel lidar solutions to deliver products to various lidar and depth sensing markets. This role requires excellent understanding of design tradeoffs spanning photonics electrooptical interfaces scanning systems and mechanical/ 3D integration. You will lead the development from initial concept to the full system POC demonstrating they meet the specifications. You will also own and define the engineering specifications for the final product and guide the product development.
What youll be doing:
Be the technical point person during development from initial concept and to the full system POC
Detailed simulations and modeling of link power and thermal budgets to deliver lidar systems to specification
Validate models by designing and conducting experiments for empirical data collection and analysis
Work closely with photonics designers optics mechanical engineers and system engineers to create system POC and provide technical guidance for full system prototype designs
Manage core technical details of new photonics prototypes and systems to ensure key results from concept phase translate through to full system demonstration
Perform FA and debugging for early prototypes
This is not a complete list of responsibilities rather a good representation of what you will be doing
What you have:
Experience with lidar systems and depth sensors preferably chip scale implementations
Strong background in system level modeling for lidar
35 years of handson experience in characterization of lidar systems photonic components subassemblies and/or modules
Deep understanding of design trade offs to build industry leading lidar systems
Excellent understanding of active and passive photonics components electrical components and thermal/mechanical interfaces
MS or PhD in electrical engineering physics or another photonics related field
Strong organizational and interpersonal skills with an ability to learn on the fly
Experience using python MATLAB JMP R or similar for modelling and data analysis
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
$154900 $209600 a year
