The Role

The role involves supporting customers using Lumotive's LiDAR development kits, including setup, configuration, and integration, as well as troubleshooting issues and maintaining communication.

Summary Generated by Built In

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:

In this role, you will own day-to-day support and enablement for customers evaluating Lumotive dev kits. This role is the frontline interface for early-stage customers and plays a key role in moving them toward adoption.

Responsibilities:

Support LiDAR dev kit customers during evaluation phase, including setup, configuration, and integration
Provide sample datasets and guidance on sensor usage and modes
Conduct and support basic testing and joint customer evaluations (remote/on-site)
Troubleshoot common issues in integration and usage
Maintain clear communication with customers to drive progress and avoid stalls
Collaborate with internal teams to escalate and resolve issues

Qualifications:

Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Electrical, Computer Science or related
1–3 years of hands-on engineering experience
Background in electrical engineering, optics, robotics, or related fields
Comfortable with basic debugging (hardware/software) and scripting / data handling (Python, ROS is a plus)
Strong English communication skills and ability to work with customers
Comfortable to work in a fast paced start up environment
Exposure to LiDAR / 3D sensing and robotics or perception systems is preferred
Candidates must be Omani Nationals
