Signal Processing Engineer

Job Description

About Us:

Voyant Photonics, based in the heart of New York City, is transforming machine perception with a new class of LiDAR devices compact enough to fit in the palm of your hand and powerful enough to measure range, velocity, and reflectivity with unparalleled accuracy. By leveraging cutting-edge silicon photonic chips smaller than your fingertip, we deliver sensors that are not only revolutionary in performance but also affordable enough to integrate into any system.

Our technology disrupts the status quo of bulky, expensive, and power-hungry LiDAR systems, making high-precision sensing accessible for widespread adoption in robotics, autonomous vehicles, drones, industrial automation, and beyond. With Voyant, the next generation of machines can see, understand, and navigate the world like never before.

Discover how we’re redefining what’s possible by making real products out of cutting-edge research in silicon photonics.

Why Join Us?:

In this critical role, you’ll be combining your advanced signal processing skills to our industry-leading silicon photonics hardware technology to deliver a game-changing LiDAR sensor.

You will be involved in the entire development cycle, starting from design/analysis, to algorithm development, simulation modeling, implementation, and product integration and testing. You will enjoy collaborating with a small team in a dynamic environment.
