Lead Optical Metasurface Design Engineer

As Lead Optical Metasurface Designer you will be responsible for leading the multi-physics design and simulations of Lumotive’s next-generation dynamic metasurface technology. The ideal candidate will have the right balance as an individual contributor and team leader setting the direction of nanophotonic design.

Your responsibilities will be:

· Multi-physics design of metasurface unit cell with a combination of electromagnetic simulations, liquid crystal dynamics, and electrostatics with constraints based on CMOS manufacturing, electrical performance, and LC materials

· Computational modulation pattern optimization and large scale array simulations to optimize beamforming performance

· Setup and maintain software infrastructure and codebase for rigorous design and optimization of metasurfaces, coupling together multiple simulation tools

· Work closely with ASIC design team on driver architecture, compute requirements and optimization of modulation pattern generation

· Work closely with manufacturing and optical characterization team

· Understanding of opto-electronic system tradeoffs like power, size, cost, and optical performance, size and how they are affected by the meta...
