Aeva designs integrated LiDAR-on-chip sensors that detect 3D position plus instantaneous velocity, enabling autonomous systems to perceive and react faster. The tech stack—ZEMAX, Cadence, LabVIEW, MATLAB, plus automotive standards (ISO 26262, AUTOSAR, IATF 16949)—reflects a hardware-centric, safety-critical development cycle. The hiring surge is almost entirely engineering (26 of 35 roles), concentrated at senior and director levels, signaling rapid scaling of silicon photonics and firmware teams while product ramp and automotive qualification are active bottlenecks.
