Principal Engineer - Electrical (High speed hardware)
ABOUT US:
Voyant Photonics, is transforming machine perception with a new class of LiDAR devices that are compact enough to fit in the palm of your hand and powerful enough to measure range, velocity, and reflectivity with unparalleled accuracy. By leveraging cutting-edge silicon photonic chips smaller than your fingertip, we deliver sensors that are not only revolutionary in performance but also affordable enough to integrate into any system.
Our technology disrupts the status quo of bulky, expensive, and power-hungry LiDAR systems, making high-precision sensing accessible for widespread adoption in robotics, autonomous vehicles, drones, industrial automation, and beyond. With Voyant, the next generation of machines can see, understand, and navigate the world like never before.
Discover how we’re redefining what’s possible by making real products out of cutting edge research in silicon photonics.
THE OPPORTUNITY:
As a growing company, we’re looking for engineers who want to move fast, solve hard problems, and leave their mark on a foundational technology. You’ll join a mission-driven team at the intersection of product design, silicon photonics and machine perception.
Location: NYC
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Architect and develop analog and mixed-signal electronics for compact, high-performance hardware modules, using TIAs, ADCs, precision current sources, and power supplies like LDOs and switching regulators.
- Own designs from concept through production, including schematic capture, component selection, and PCB layout in collaboration with layout engineers.
- Ensure signal integrity, power integrity, and EMI/EMC compliance across high-speed and noise-sensitive interfaces.
- Define and execute bring-up, characterization, and validation plans (e.g., DVT, EVT), with a focus on robustness, repeatability, and manufacturability.
- Analyze design trade-offs (performance, cost, power, integration complexity) in the context of tightly constrained ...
