Partner with hiring managers and senior leaders, develop talent strategies, source passive candidates, manage multiple searches, provide market intelligence, and support Aeva’s employment brand.

Lead design and implementation of LiDAR sensing algorithms across the full signal chain (DSP, detection, ranging, calibration, point cloud processing). Drive algorithm architecture, perform trade studies and validation, collaborate with firmware/optics/systems to integrate and optimize for embedded/SoC/FPGA targets, and provide technical leadership across teams.

Lead end-to-end systems engineering for next-generation LiDAR sensors: own architecture, requirements, opto-mechanical and DSP subsystems, verification, safety and cybersecurity artifacts, cross-discipline integration, and ASPICE/ISO-compliant lifecycle deliverables.

The NPI Alignment Engineer will develop precision optoelectronic alignment equipment, oversee production processes, perform failure analysis, and work with manufacturers on alignment equipment.

Lead strategic sourcing and commercial management for hardware commodities (electronics, optics, semiconductors, precision and contract manufacturing). Develop and execute sourcing strategies, run RFIs/RFQs, negotiate global supply agreements, manage product cost targets and should-cost/TCO analyses, build supply resilience and dual sourcing, assess supplier readiness/financial health, and drive supplier performance and cross-functional alignment for product launches and scale.

Lead development of test and automation engineering teams, design and integrate test stations for LiDAR manufacturing, and drive continuous improvement in processes.

Design and implement real-time applications on ARM processors, develop multi-threaded applications, and debug issues during product development for embedded systems.

The Optical Engineer will design, develop, and test optical systems for Aeva's LiDAR sensors, focusing on tolerance analysis and laboratory skills.

Responsible for managing defense technology sales, executing RFIs and RFQs, building relationships with agencies, and ensuring customer satisfaction. Requires collaboration with various teams and negotiation of agreements.

Design and lead development of a scalable Python-based test automation framework for embedded LiDAR systems, define test strategies (functional, regression, performance, security), mentor engineers, integrate HIL/SIL and CI/CD pipelines, and collaborate with firmware, DSP, and QA teams to ensure requirements traceability and automotive compliance.

Hybrid hardware/software engineer responsible for characterizing 4D LiDAR sensors, supporting customer integrations, building production Python/C++ data pipelines, running calibration and field debugging, maintaining ETL for high-volume sensor data, and coordinating data labeling and collection operations.

As a Senior Perception Engineer, you will develop and deploy algorithms for real-time perception systems in Aeva's 4D LiDAR technology, ensuring performance and scalability while adhering to coding standards.

The role involves leading software development and testing for complex projects, ensuring timely delivery and coordination across teams while managing risks and stakeholder communication.

Lead the design and development of core software infrastructure for 4D LiDAR products, optimizing for performance, scalability, and reliability while mentoring teams.

Design and implement real-time embedded applications in C/C++, develop drivers for SPI/I2C/UART, debug hardware-software issues, collaborate with EE/DSP/Test/QA, and follow software lifecycle processes including requirements, design, testing, and code reviews.

Manage and drive photonics layout and design automation, leading a team, ensuring quality, and facilitating cross-functional collaboration in a dynamic environment.

Lead a design team focused on silicon photonics for AI data centers and automotive applications by managing design processes and product timelines.

Lead design, characterization, validation, and NPI of III-V lasers and amplifiers. Manage a team to transition devices from R&D to high-volume production, define test and lot strategies, develop engineering requirements, and drive packaging, reliability, and cost/yield improvements across product lines.

Lead product marketing for Aeva's LiDAR product portfolio: define positioning, messaging, competitive analysis, go-to-market strategy, sales enablement, campaigns, and cross-functional alignment to drive awareness, demand, and revenue.

Develop and transfer active optoelectronic alignment equipment from concept to production, work with manufacturers to resolve hardware and process issues, oversee failure analysis, source alignment tooling, and provide DFM/process ownership for alignment operations.
