The company combines custom silicon, integrated sensors, and software into a unified platform for robotics, mobility, and next-generation automation. Lyte is headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, with a global presence. For more information, visit www.lyte.ai\nIf you’re excited about building impactful technology in a dynamic, hands-on environment, we’d love to hear from you!\nAbout the role\nWe are seeking a highly technical, hands-on Systems Engineer to own module-level integration and productization of our sensing modules in a fast-paced robotics startup. This role is for someone who is comfortable across optics, custom silicon, electronics, mechanics, thermals and embedded software, and who is drawn to the problems that live between subsystems rather than inside any one of them. You will own the module end-to-end as a product - from specification and early prototyping, through system bringup and engineering builds with our contract manufacturers, to production ramp and the field. You will define what the module must achieve, make sure those requirements flow down to the subsystem teams that have to meet them, prove they are met with data, and build the test and traceability infrastructure that makes that possible at scale. Success in this role requires strong engineering intuition, disciplined execution, and the ability to hold system-level goals and low-level technical detail in view at the same time. The scope moves with our roadmap. In the near term the emphasis is production readiness for our current module - test coverage, specifications, traceability and build execution. As our next-generation program ramps, the emphasis shifts toward early concept work, in-house prototyping and bringup of entirely new hardware.\nWhat you'll do\nOwn module-level integration - bring subsystems together, get them working as a product, and debug the problems that only appear once they are combined\nTranslate product requirements into quantifiable module specifications, and make sure those specs flow down coherently to the subsystem teams that have to meet them\nDrive system bringup for new hardware - new silicon, new PCBAs, new optics, new thermal designs - and be among the first to make a new configuration run end to end\nPlan and execute engineering builds, in-house and at contract manufacturers, and own the readiness criteria that gate them\nDefine what we measure and why: test coverage, KPIs and pass/fail limits across component, subsystem and module level - and determine whether data from those levels actually agrees\nContribute to early concept work and in-house prototyping for next-generation products, before a program formally begins\nParticipate in failure analysis and root-cause investigations on prototype, production and field units\nWork directly with optics, electrical, mechanical, silicon, firmware and software teams\nSupport customer engineering - understand customer requirements and how customers deploy our modules, and feed that back into what we build and how we test it\nRequired Qualifications\nMaster’s or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, Optics, or a related field\n5+ years of hands-on systems, hardware or integration engineering on a physical product\nExperience carrying at least one hardware product through the full cycle - prototype, engineering builds and production ramp - and having lived with the problems that surfaced at each stage\nStrong lab skills and real debug instinct: comfortable with instrumentation, able to isolate a problem that crosses hardware, firmware and software boundaries\nWorking knowledge of failure analysis practice - structured root cause methods, non-destructive-first triage, corrective action, and reasoning from test and component data\nFamiliarity with the mechanics of hardware productization: BOM and change control, travelers and work instructions, IQC / OQC / end-of-line test, yield and DPPM, calibration, serialization and traceability\nPython for test automation and data analysis - able to pull a dataset and answer a question with it rather than wait for someone else to\nComfort working across optics, electronics, mechanics and software without needing to be the deepest expert in any one of them\nClear technical writing and the judgment to work across teams that do not report to you\nWilling to travel to manufacturing and vendor sites as builds require\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience with new product introduction and engineering builds at contract manufacturers\nTest station definition, deployment and correlation\nRequirements definition and specification flow-down across a multi-team hardware program\nConcept prototyping and bringup of new silicon or new board designs at the earliest stage of a program\nExperience managing EVT/DVT/PVT cycles and production ramp\nDomain exposure to LiDAR, cameras, optics, or precision opto-mechanical systems\nAbility to operate effectively in a startup environment with ambiguity, speed, and high ownership\nBenefits (subject to location and local regulations)\nCompetitive salary and equity \nComprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage \n401(k) retirement plan \nFlexible vacation and time-off policy \nCollaborative, fast-paced, and inclusive work environment \nOpportunity to work on cutting-edge technologies with a highly cross-functional
