Job description

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:

The Hardware Reliability Engineer is a critical role in a cross-functional team building next-generation lidar systems for industrial, consumer, and automotive applications. This is a high-ownership, hands-on role spanning test methodology, qualification, failure analysis, and manufacturing quality practices.

You will work closely with optical, electrical, mechanical, systems, software, and test engineering teams across the full product development lifecycle – from early requirements and design reviews through prototype builds and design qualification. You will personally set up test equipment, execute test plans, analyze data, and perform failure analysis. This role requires clear technical communication with cross-functional teams, external test labs, suppliers, and customers.
