Aeva is building the next generation of products for sensing, perception for autonomous vehicles and AI data centers. With its unique ability to measure instantaneous velocity for each pixel, long-range performance at high resolutions, while being free from LiDAR or sunlight interference, Aeva’s 4D LiDAR is built from the ground up at silicon photonics scale for mass-market applications.

Role Overview:

Lead design team to deliver silicon photonics across multiple verticals including AI data centers, Automotive, Industrial automation
Work closely with architecture, fab and cross functional design teams to deliver products on tight timelines
Own the scoping of various tapeouts to manage balance between development milestones and product timelines/ intercepts
Own DFMEA of silicon photonics for various product lines
Understand the fab process to take into account design-process interactions
Own the characterization of silicon photonics tapeouts with clear test and reliability plans - assist with execution as needed
Work with test team to define and develop characterization for new devices

What you have

5+ years demonstrated experience with leading design teams to deliver product
Strong background and experience designing photonics devices into foundries
Experience with delivering complex photonics circuits taking into account system constraints and interactions
Experience with full successful design, tape-out, and test cycles
Experience with back reflection and stray light management strategies
Experience in optical simulation software to evaluate optical designs
Experience in qualifying high volume photonics components
