Talent Acquisition And Human Resources Specialist

Lumotive is pioneering the era of programmable opticswhere light is controlled as intelligently and flexibly as software.

At the heart of this transformation is a once-in-a-generation innovation: a flat CMOS-based "general purpose optic." Lumotive's Light Control Metasurface (LCM) beam forming chips can be programmed to function as a beam steering mirror, a lens, mirror, a beam splitteror any optical functionreplacing bulky and mechanical optical components with a fully digital, reconfigurable semiconductor. This breakthrough lays the foundation for a massive shift in multiple technologiesfrom 3D sensing and imaging to optical networking, free space optical communication, and beyond. Like the shift from analog to digital in electronics, programmable optics will reshape industries from robotics, self-driving cars, AI, defense, and healthcare.

Lumotive's first commercial application is in LiDAR, where its software-defined beam steering chips are already enabling compact, high-performance, solid-state sensors. These sensors are being deployed today in smart infrastructure, robotics, and mobility systems through leading module makers and solution integrators.

With more than 200 patents and growing commercial traction, Lumotive is delivering the world's first digital platform for lightand redefining what's possible in the optical age.
