    Job description

    About us:

    Aeva’s mission 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.  Aeva’s Optical Connectivity leverages the Company’s proprietary high-power optical sources and silicon photonics technologies that have been developed and industrialized for demanding automotive and industrial applications.

    Role Overview:

    As a Senior Photonics Module Engineer you will be joining the photonics module engineering team at Aeva and developing advanced optical modules for the optical connectivity market.  You will be working cross-functionally to drive the bring up and deliver performance demonstrations of new optical modules.

    What you'll be doing:

      • Work closely with a cross functional team to drive performance demonstrations and provide technical guidance for full module prototype designs
      • Manage core technical details of early photonics prototypes to ensure key results from concept phase translate through to full system demonstration
      • Develop a validation platform for silicon photonics based optical modules to demonstrate performance meeting product requirements
      • Work with CMs to set up test requirements to ensure assembled modules meet product specifications
      • Develop and maintain link budgets and system performance models
      • Perform FA and debugging for early prototypes

    What you have:

      • 2+ years of post-PhD hands-on experience with fiber-coupled photonic systems, components, subassemblies, and/or modules
      • Excellent understanding of lasers, electrical components, and thermal/mechanical interfaces
      • Experience with laser characterization (e.g. LIV, SMSR, RIN, LW) and benchtop characterization equipment
      • Familiarity with system level modeling of optical links
      • PhD in electrical engineering, physics, or other photonics related field
      • Strong organizational and interpersonal skills with an ability to learn on the fly
      • Experience using python, MATLAB, JMP, R, or similar for modelling and data analysis
    Aeva is an Equal Opportunity Employer including protected Veterans and individuals with disabilities.
