Are you a passionate optical engineer driven to create the next generation of LiDAR technology?

I'm working with a company that are revolutionizing LiDAR systems by pushing the boundaries of design and innovation. They are currently developing a groundbreaking platform that unlocks superior performance and empowers companies to build exceptional LiDAR solutions.

This role offers you the opportunity to be a key player in developing a revolutionary optical MEMS product focusing on LiDAR.

You'll leverage your expertise in optical design, system architecture, and LiDAR technology to shape the future of this game-changing technology.

Responsibilities :

  • Design and optimize innovative LiDAR systems through trade studies, link budget analysis, and modeling.
  • Utilize commercial and in-house simulation tools to evaluate and optimize electro-optical systems.
  • Develop creative solutions to overcome technical challenges and advance LiDAR design concepts.
  • Translate complex system-level specifications into clear and actionable subsystem requirements.
  • Design optical subsystems for both monostatic and bistatic systems.
  • Collaborate on the development and validation of comprehensive testing strategies for optical and LiDAR systems.

Key Requirements :

  • Master's or Ph.D. in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Optical Engineering (preferred).
  • Proven track record working in the LiDAR industry or a relevant field.
  • In-depth understanding of various LiDAR topologies and their functionalities.
  • Strong background in optical system design and testing
  • Ability to travel 25% of the time to Los Angeles / San Francisco (remote work possible with travel requirement).

Nice to haves :

  • Experience with embedded systems utilizing FPGAs for signal processing is a plus
  • Proficiency in Zemax or a similar optical design software is a plus.
