Job Title

Analog Photonics is a fast-growing silicon photonic technology startup known for making the world's best optical phased arrays. We use our proprietary silicon photonic platform to serve the automotive LiDAR and data communications markets with innovative, chip-scale solutions.We're seeking a self-starting Senior Embedded Software engineer for our automotive LiDAR business area. You will be responsible for designing and implementing the system's control logic, developing digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms, writing device control interfaces, and designing the broader architecture of the system. You will work closely with the CMOS engineers, photonics engineers, electrical engineers, system engineers, and firmware engineers to design and bring up the FPGA and microprocessors that make our LiDAR system function. You will have the opportunity to put your designs in the hands of customers by driving your firmware and software through the entire design and test lifecycle.
