About Us:

Aeva is building the next generation of sensing and perception for autonomous vehicles and beyond. With its unique ability to measure instantaneous velocity for each pixel, and 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.

Role Overview:

Lead and own both bare die and chip-on carrier assemblies based on III/V edge-emitting lasers and optical amplifiers.

What you'll be doing:

• Responsible for driving performance and yield improvement experiments through external foundries 
• Work with cross-functional teams, both external and internal, to drive improvement plans, assist in FA activities, and contribute to design reviews
• Drive scalability and manufacturability projects so that the products can scale with increasing volume
• Drive resolution of product manufacturing issues (Epi, wafer process, and coating) at external foundries

What you have:

• 5+ years of experience with edge-emitting laser or VCSEL product engineering
• Comfortable with analyzing large datasets using JMP/R/Python
• Demonstrated experience with characterization and testing of edge-emitting lasers
• Can-do attitude with a zeal to solve complex problems in a cross-functional product development environment
• Experience with working in a fast-paced, agile environment

Nice to haves:

• Experience with one of the MOCVD/III-V wafer process/ III-V backend process 
• Prior Experience with solving laser-quality issues in a QRE/Applications Engineering role

What's in it for you:

• Be part of a fast-paced and dynamic team
• Very competitive compensation and meaningful equity!
• Exceptional benefits: Medical, Dental, Vision, and more!
• Unlimited PTO: Take all the time you need.
• Paid lunches, ping pong tournaments, and fun team off-sites!
