ABOUT US:

Aeva’s 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:

Aeva is looking to bring on an Optical Development Engineer to join our dynamic, fast-paced, and highly innovative environment. The position will contribute to the design, development, and testing of complex optical sub-components and systems used within Aeva’s LiDAR coherent sensing system.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING:

• 
  
  
  
• Design and analyze optical systems, including developing optical architectures, evaluating tolerances, and trade-offs analysis.

• Perform sequential and non-sequential simulations of optical systems.
• Direct specification development for detailed drawings of optical components.
• Test and characterize the LiDAR sensor and optical sub-systems using table-top experimental set ups and dedicated testing facilities.
