Senior Member of Technical Staff, Firmware Engineer (SoC/RTOS)
San JoseOn-siteFull-time
AI Summary
Lead firmware architecture and development for multi-processor embedded subsystems on ASIC/SoC platforms, including RTOS bring-up, secure boot, low-power strategies, drivers, and production-grade firmware for safety-critical optical products.
About this role
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:
Lead architecture and development of firmware across multi-processor embedded subsystems integrated into ASIC/SoC platforms. You’ll partition functionality across hardware, firmware, and software; bring up RTOS and secure boot flows; and deliver production-grade code and tests for low-power, safety-critical products.
