Lumotive is pioneering the era of programmable opticswhere 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. Lumotives Light Control Metasurface (LCM) beam forming chips can be programmed to function as a beam steering mirror, a lens, mirror, a beam splitteror any optical functionreplacing bulky and mechanical optical components with a fully digital, reconfigurable semiconductor . This breakthrough lays the foundation for a massive shift in multiple technologiesfrom 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.

Lumotives 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 worlds first digital platform for lightand redefining whats possible in the optical age.

The Optoelectronics Systems Engineer plays a key role in a start-up environment developing the next generation of lidar. This handson role blends deep expertise in optics, electronics, and software - expect to architect, prototype, debug, tune, and refine real hardware in the lab. Youll influence system architecture, help define our technical direction, and build strong relationships across internal teams and external partners. Youll operate with substantial independence, shaping methods, processes, and evaluation criteria to solve significant and unique technical challenges. This position reports to the Senior Manager of Optical Systems Engineering.
