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.
Job Description:
We are looking for a hands-on Lidar Characterization & Calibration Engineer to join our optical systems team. In this role, you will be responsible for designing and automating test equipment, developing and executing characterization test plans, building calibration pipelines, and generating data-driven insights that directly improve our lidar sensor performance. You’ll work closely with optical, electrical, and systems engineers to understand sensor behavior across environmental conditions and operational parameters. We're looking for someone who is self-driven and ambitious, takes ownership of their work, and thrives in an environment where the problems are hard and the answers aren't always obvious.
