MEMS-based solid-state lidar for autonomous vehicles, industrial sensing, and defense
MicroVision manufactures solid-state lidar sensors using MEMS laser-beam scanning and custom optics, serving automotive, industrial, and defense markets. The hiring surge is engineering-led (6 of 7 roles), concentrated at staff and director level, while active projects span automotive product commercialization, UAV systems, and defense market entry—signaling transition from pure sensor R&D toward complete perception platforms and systems integration.
MicroVision designs and manufactures solid-state lidar sensors and perception systems, with over 30 years of IP in MEMS-based laser scanning, precision optics, and embedded sensing. The product portfolio addresses autonomous vehicle safety, industrial 3D detection, and defense applications. The company operates as a public entity in Redmond, Washington, with a 201–500-person workforce focused on hardware design, firmware (FPGA, DSP), and system-level integration. Current efforts include bringing next-generation electro-optical sensors to market, expanding into UAV and defense channels, and improving manufacturing yield at scale.
