Description
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.
Benefits include but not limited to:
Health, dental and vision
FSA, HSA
PTO plus 14 paid company holidays
401K with 3% contribution
Stock Options
Life insurance and disability
Responsibilities:
Defining and overseeing the test hardware ecosystem for Lumotive’s next generation of products
Optical and mechanical design and implementation of LCM characterization test stands and demo systems
Develop Python-based software for instrument control, test automation, and integration with Lumotive’s test data infrastructure
Design, layout, fabricate, and bring up custom PCBs for LCM test, characterization, and control applications
Support bring-up and validation of new LCM products and ASICs, debugging at the hardware/firmware boundary
Design of robust LCM optical and electrical systems that can be installed at contract manufacturers for pass / fail testing
Programming and software development in Python for streamlining LCM control and adding functionality
Collaborate with the LiDAR systems team to integrate LCM technology into new reference designs
Document your work thoroughly and contribute to design / code reviews, SOPs, and knowledge transfer
Qualifications:
Bachelor’s degree in physics, electrical engineering, optical engineering, or related fields
5+ years of experience in a hardware-focused R&D or engineering role
Hands-on experience building and operating test stands or characterization systems for optoelectronic devices
Strong understanding of geometrical / diffractive / polarization optics
Mechanical design and fabrication skills (SolidWorks, 3D printing, machining)
Proven track record designing and bringing up PCBs, including schematic capture, layout, and hardware debugging
Proficiency in Python for test automation, instrument control, or data analysis
Experience with Git and software development best practices (unit testing, code review, version control)
Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to document and present technical work clearly
Extreme attention to detail
