Our silicon photonics FMCW LiDAR platform is advancing toward production maturity, and we're simultaneously breaking new ground on next-generation programs. As a lean, close-knit team, we move fast and rely on people who can think on their feet.\nWe're looking for a Sensor Verification & Integration Engineer to join our Systems Team, reporting to the System Integration Lead. This role sits at the intersection of system integration/test and sensor verification - you'll run verification tests across full sensor systems and subsystems, troubleshoot with strong physics and systems-engineering fundamentals, and help our team separate real design flaws from measurement artifacts. You'll work across multiple active programs, pushing our platform further down the product lifecycle while standing up verification for brand-new subsystems.\nWhat You'll Do:\nDesign and execute verification tests for full sensor systems and subsystems, ensuring designs meet performance and reliability requirements.\n\nTroubleshoot and debug system-level and subsystem-level issues, applying strong systems-engineering and first-principles physics reasoning to isolate root cause.\n\nGenerate clear test reports and well-formed hypotheses to share findings and drive decisions with the broader engineering team.\n\nBuild, maintain, and automate test benches and lab equipment to support repeatable, efficient verification.\n\nAdapt quickly to changing requirements, shifting priorities, and new problems as our programs evolve.\n\nBring creativity to solving design challenges under real-world constraints\n\nCollaborate closely with hardware, optics, firmware, and algorithms engineers throughout the system lifecycle, from bring-up through production support.\n\nWhat We Need to See:\nBS in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field (MS or PhD a plus).\n\n3+ years of hands-on experience in system or sensor test, verification, or characterization - though we're open to exceptional candidates at other experience levels who show strong potential and the right attitude.\n\nHands-on experience with lab equipment (oscilloscopes, power supplies, function generators, spectrum analyzers, logic analyzers) and demonstrated experience automating test equipment.\n\nProficiency in Python for test automation and data analysis.\n\nStrong systems-level thinking and the ability to apply physics and engineering fundamentals to debug complex, ambiguous problems.\n\nExcellent written and verbal communication skills - able to turn raw data and observations into clear reports and actionable hypotheses.\n\nA self-starter who thrives with minimal formal process, and is comfortable defining and communicating structure where it doesn't yet exist.\n\nEnthusiasm for tackling new and unexpected problems, and the flexibility to pivot as priorities shift.\n\nMust be able to work on-site.\n\nPreferred Qualifications:\nExperience with FMCW LiDAR, radar, or other optical/photonic sensing systems.\n\nExperience automating motorized stages, gimbals, or other opto-mechanical test setups.\n\nFamiliarity with C/C++ for embedded or test applications.\n\nWhy Voyant:\nThis is a chance to join a small team working on technology that's changing how machines perceive the world - and to have an outsized, visible impact on that mission. You'll work alongside a team of experts who've built this platform from the ground up, in an environment where you'll learn fast, grow quickly, and help shape not just our product but how we work.\nEqual Opportunity Employer\nVoyant Photonics is an equal opportunity employer committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace.
