The posting, in Aeva's own words
archived Nov 4, 2026What you'll be doing:
Work closely with a cross functional team to drive performance demonstrations and provide technical guidance for full module prototype designs Manage core technical details of early photonics prototypes to ensure key results from concept phase translate through to full system demonstration Develop a validation platform for silicon photonics based optical modules to demonstrate performance meeting product requirements Work with CMs to set up test requirements to ensure assembled modules meet product specifications Develop and maintain link budgets and system performance models Perform FA and debugging for early prototypes
What you have:
2+ years of post-PhD hands-on experience with fiber-coupled photonic systems, components, subassemblies, and/or modules Excellent understanding of lasers, electrical components, and thermal/mechanical interfaces Experience with laser characterization (e.g. LIV, SMSR, RIN, LW) and benchtop characterization equipment Familiarity with system level modeling of optical links PhD in electrical engineering, physics, or other photonics related field Strong organizational and interpersonal skills with an ability to learn on the fly Experience using python, MATLAB, JMP, R, or similar for modelling and data analysis
