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 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, manufacturability, light budgets and other trade-offs.
Perform sequential and non-sequential simulations of optical systems.
Direct specification development for detailed drawings of optical components
Generate and document new IP

What you have:

Bachelors or Masters in optical engineering, physics, or related field.
3+ years experience maturing optical systems designs from proof of concept to production
Ability to model and script in ZEMAX, Code V, Fred, or similar
Experience in tolerance analysis, stray-light and scattering analysis
Experience with precision optical, micro-optic and/or fiber optic components
Hands-on laboratory skills in setting up, testing, validating, and troubleshooting optical, fiber optic and opto-mechanical subsystems
Knowledge of limitations and fabrication of optics (molded, polished, diamond turned) as well as micro structures

What's in it for you:

Be part of a fast paced and dynamic team
Very competitive compensation and meaningful stock grants
Exceptional benefits: Medical, Dental, Vision, and more
Unlimited PTO: We care about results, not punching timecards
