Member of Technical Staff, Lidar Characterization & Calibration Engineer

Requirements

• B.S., M.S., or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Optical Engineering, Physics, or a closely related field
• 3-5 years of hands-on experience in sensor characterization, optical systems testing, or related hardware validation roles
• Proficiency in Python for test automation, data analysis, and visualization (NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib or equivalent)
• Experience with optical measurement equipment (e.g., integrating spheres, optical power meters, beam profilers, oscilloscopes, time-of-flight measurement systems)
• Experience interacting with databases (SQL, Postgres) for managing and analyzing large datasets.
• Ability to design controlled experiments and draw statistically sound conclusions from data
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to document work clearly and concisely
• Experience with lidar-specific calibration (intrinsic/extrinsic, intensity calibration, point cloud registration) preferred
• Background working in a hardware startup or similarly fast-paced, resource-constrained environment preferred
• Experience supporting transfer of calibration processes to manufacturing/NPI environments preferred

Additional Information

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.
