Hybrid Engineer, Optoelectronics Systems en Lumotive

Lumotive is pioneering the era of programmable optics—where light is controlled as intelligently and flexibly as software.

 

At the heart of this transformation is a once-in-a-generation innovation: a flat CMOS-based “general purpose optic.” Lumotive’s Light Control Metasurface (LCM™) beam forming chips can be programmed to function as a beam steering mirror, a lens, mirror, a beam splitter—or any optical function—replacing bulky and mechanical optical components with a fully digital, reconfigurable semiconductor . This breakthrough lays the foundation for a massive shift in multiple technologies—from 3D sensing and imaging to optical networking, free space optical communication, and beyond. Like the shift from analog to digital in electronics, programmable optics will reshape industries from robotics, self-driving cars, AI, defense, and healthcare.

Lumotive’s first commercial application is in LiDAR, where its software-defined beam steering chips are already enabling compact, high-performance, solid-state sensors. These sensors are being deployed today in smart infrastructure, robotics, and mobility systems through leading module makers and solution integrators.

With more than 200 patents and growing commercial traction, Lumotive is delivering the world’s first digital platform for light—and redefining what’s possible in the optical age.

As an Optoelectronics Systems Engineer, you will play key role in a small cross-functional team developing the next generation of lidar. This is a hands-on role that blends optics, electronics, and software. You’ll work closely with the team to support the hardware design, system bring-up, software development, testing, and calibration of our next-generation, LCM-based lidar systems. You must have excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to communicate effectively across internal functional units as well as with third party suppliers, partners, and customers. This position reports to our Principal Optoelectronic Systems Engineer.
