Originally posted 7 October 2026 by the employer.
About the role
This role involves testing Lumotive's Light Control Metasurface (LCM™) beam forming chips. These chips are a CMOS-based "general purpose optic" for applications like 3D sensing and LiDAR.
What you'll do
- Run test equipment to characterize LCM devices following written test procedures.
- Handle, load, and unload optical parts and devices without damage.
- Follow clean-environment protocols, including gowning and ESD precautions.
- Inspect parts for defects, damage, or contamination before and after testing.
- Record test results, part serial numbers, and observations accurately.
- Report equipment problems, unexpected results, or procedure deviations promptly.
- Keep test stations, fixtures, and tools organized and ready for use.
What you'll need
- Strong attention to detail and ability to follow written procedures exactly.
- Experience working in a controlled clean environment (cleanroom or ESD-controlled lab).
- Careful, steady handling of delicate optical components, lenses, or semiconductor parts.
- Experience running test or measurement equipment in a lab or production setting.
- Accurate data entry and basic computer skills.
- Technical certificate or associate degree in electronics, photonics, optics, or a related field.
- Prior work in semiconductor, optics, or photonics manufacturing or test.
- Familiarity with optical test setups such as lasers, cameras, power meters, or alignment stages.
- Comfort using tweezers, vacuum wands, and fixtures to handle small parts.
