Description

Aeva is building the next generation of products for sensing, perception for autonomous vehicles and AI data centers. With its unique ability to measure instantaneous velocity for each pixel, long-range performance at high resolutions, while being free from LiDAR or sunlight interference, Aeva’s 4D LiDAR is built from the ground up at silicon photonics scale for mass-market applications. Role Overview: We are looking for an expert in photonics engineering to join our core engineering team! Lead design team to deliver silicon photonics across multiple verticals including AI data centers, Automotive, Industrial automation Work closely with architecture, fab and cross functional design teams to deliver products on tight timelines Own the scoping of various tapeouts to manage balance between development milestones and product timelines/ intercepts Own DFMEA of silicon photonics for various product lines Understand the fab process to take into account design-process interactions Own the characterization of silicon photonics tapeouts with clear test and reliability plans - assist with execution as needed Work with test team to define and develop characterization for new devices What you have 5+ years demonstrated experience with leading design teams to deliver product Strong background and experience designing photonics devices into foundries Experience with delivering complex photonics circuits taking into account system constraints and interactions Experience with full successful design, tape-out, and test cycles Experience with back reflection and stray light management strategies Experience in optical simulation software to evaluate optical designs Experience in qualifying high volume photonics components
