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

We are looking for a Software Field Applications Engineer to support customer software integration for Aeva’s 4D LiDAR products. This is a customer-facing role focused on helping partners successfully deploy and use Aeva software interfaces, tools, and example applications. You will work closely with customers to bring up sensors, integrate software into their systems, troubleshoot issues, and develop custom examples or solutions when needed.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys hands-on software work, customer interaction, and solving practical integration problems across robotics, perception, and automotive systems.

About the Company

Aeva

4D LiDAR sensors with velocity detection

Aeva designs and sells perception sensors, focusing on 4D LiDAR that measures both the velocity and 3D position of objects. The sensors are built by integrating all core LiDAR components onto a silicon photonics chip, creating a compact, efficient module. This technology is applied across automated driving, industrial robotics, consumer electronics, consumer health, and security to improve safety, efficiency, and functionality of autonomous systems. Unlike many competitors that offer traditional 3D sensing, Aeva’s 4D capability provides richer environmental data that helps autonomous systems detect motion and position at once. The company’s business model centers on developing, producing, and selling these sensors to businesses, potentially partnering with other firms to integrate the tech into a wider range of products. Aeva’s goal is to advance autonomous capabilities by delivering practical, scalable sensing solutions that enhance perception and safety across multiple industries.
