Seattle, United States Lumotive Full time

Lumotive's revolutionary programmable optical semiconductors enhance perception, boost computing power, and ensure robust high-speed communication across various markets.

The award-winning, highly patented Light Control Metasurface (LCM™) chip is the first commercially available software-defined photonic beamforming solid-state technology addressing critical gaps in multiple industries, from 3D sensing to AI computing.

Our LCM™ chip has already secured multiple design wins in our initial market, positioning it at the forefront of the 3D sensing evolution. By merging lidar and ToF camera technologies, it caters to a wide range of markets, including consumer electronics, robotics, industrial, and automotive sectors.

Lumotive was named Fast Company’s Next Big Thing in Tech and won two CES Innovation Awards. Headquartered in Redmond, WA, with offices in San Jose, CA, and Vancouver, Canada, Lumotive is backed by notable investors, including Gates Frontier, MetaVC Partners, Quan Funds, Samsung Ventures, and Uniquest.


As Lead Optical Metasurface Designer you will be responsible for leading the multi-physics design and simulations of Lumotive’s next-generation dynamic metasurface technology. The ideal candidate will have the right balance as an individual contributor and team leader setting the direction of nanophotonic design.

Your responsibilities will be:

· Multi-physics design of metasurface unit cell with a combination of electromagnetic simulations, liquid crystal dynamics, and electrostatics with constraints based on CMOS manufacturing, electrical performance, and LC materials

· Computational modulation pattern optimization and large scale array simulations to optimize beamforming performance

· Setup and maintain software infrastructure and codebase for rigorous design and optimization of metasurfaces, coupling together multiple simulation tools

· Work closely with ASIC design team on driver architecture, compute requirements and optimization of modulation pattern generation

· Work closely with manufacturing and optical characterization team

· Understanding of opto-electronic system tradeoffs like power, size, cost, and optical performance, size and how they are affected by the metasurface properties


Qualifications:


· PhD in nanophotonics, optics, electrical engineering, physics or related fields

· 5+ years experience in large scale photonic simulations using FDTD and similar techniques

· 5+ years experience with Python, collaborating with Git, and writing unit / integration tests

· Preferred experience with multi-physics simulations of opto-electronic devices

· Project and team management of complex and ambiguous technical projects

· Hands on experience with optical characterization of optoelectronic and photonic devices preferred
