Lyte builds perception systems for robots, combining in-house silicon, 4D sensing and AI into deployable modules. Its stack reads like a semiconductor company: SystemVerilog, UVM, FPGA, Lumerical, HFSS and silicon photonics tooling sit alongside ROS 2, Isaac Sim and NVIDIA Jetson. Accelerating, senior-heavy engineering hiring across US and Asian manufacturing hubs points to a push from R&D into volume production.
Notable leadership hires: Mechanical Lead
Lyte is a privately held company founded in 2021 and headquartered in Sunnyvale, CA, with 51–200 employees. It develops vertically integrated vision systems that help robots perceive and operate safely in physical environments. The platform spans custom chips, 4D sensors and AI software packaged as modular units. Its customers are robotics companies building autonomous systems for uses ranging from industrial automation to last-mile delivery. Hiring spans the United States, Romania, Singapore, Taiwan, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and Australia.
Lyte uses Python, C++, MATLAB, ROS 2, Isaac Sim, MuJoCo and NVIDIA Jetson for robotics, plus SystemVerilog, UVM, FPGA, Lumerical, HFSS, Altium Designer and Spectre for silicon, photonics and hardware design.
Lyte hires in the United States, Romania, Singapore, Taiwan, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and Australia, reflecting a mix of engineering and manufacturing-region presence.
Lyte is developing silicon photonics devices and micro-electronic packages, automating optical module assembly, and setting up wafer-level probe tests at OSATs for production scale-up.
