About the role
AEye builds software-defined LiDAR around a pair of MEMS scanning mirrors. The Staff MEMS Engineer is the technical authority for those mirrors: how they are designed, how they perform, and how they are manufactured and qualified for volume production through external foundries. The role works across AEye's systems, hardware, quality and operations teams and with our foundry and component partners and contributes to the long-term MEMS roadmap for the product line. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- MS or PhD in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, applied physics or a related discipline
- Eight or more years in MEMS device engineering, including direct experience with MEMS scanning mirrors or comparable electrostatic or piezoelectric actuators
- Deep understanding of MEMS device design, simulation and behavior, sufficient to evaluate designs and process changes and predict their effect on performance and reliability
- Experience bringing a MEMS device from design through an external foundry to production, including SOI-based process flows and wafer bonding
- Experience assessing design alternatives, second-source options or commercial components against system requirements
- Hands-on electrical and optical characterization of MEMS devices: actuation, position feedback, leakage and breakdown, optical angle measurement

This is a hands-on individual contributor position with technical ownership. The engineer works with a small MEMS team on characterization, screening and integration, and represents AEye's technical position with suppliers.
- Own the MEMS mirror technical baseline: device design, process stack and material specification, performance model, and configuration control across suppliers.
- Serve as the in-house expert on MEMS mirror physics: electrostatic actuation, piezoresistive position sensing, dynamics and high-voltage behavior.
- Define acceptance criteria and test conditions for MEMS devices, aligned with system requirements and with suppliers.
- Review and evaluate supplier process data, root cause analyses and design...
