Job description

About us:

Aeva’s mission is to bring the next wave of perception to a broad range of applications from automated driving to industrial robotics, consumer electronics, consumer health, security, and beyond. Aeva is transforming autonomy with its groundbreaking sensing and perception technology that integrates all key LiDAR components onto a silicon photonics chip in a compact module. Aeva 4D LiDAR sensors uniquely detect instant velocity in addition to 3D position, allowing autonomous devices like vehicles and robots to make more intelligent and safe decisions.

Role Overview:

We are seeking an experienced Staff Systems Engineer to serve as the technical lead for development and lifecycle maintenance of our next-generation LiDAR sensor products. This is a player-coach role: you will drive critical systems work hands-on while providing technical direction across the product.

You will apply rigorous systems engineering across the full lifecycle, with ownership of opto-mechanical and DSP subsystems and a strong end-to-end systems view — from vehicle-level requirements through architecture, integration, verification, and release. Design and implementation must meet automotive standards including ASPICE, Functional Safety (ISO 26262), CyberSecurity (ISO/SAE 21434), and SOTIF (ISO 21448).

What you'll do

Own system architecture, requirements, and design documentation with full traceability from top-level sensor performance to component-level implementation.

Lead architectural decomposition and integration across optics, opto-mechanics, electronics, firmware, DSP, and software — including performance budgeting, interface definition, and verification planning.

Hands-on ownership of opto-mechanical requirements (optical path, alignment, thermal/mechanical stability, packaging) and DSP subsystem requirements (signal chain architecture, performance targets, algorithm interfaces, verification criteria).

Conduct system modeling, trade studies, and test-data analysis to validate architectural decisions and resolve cross-domain integration issues.

Develop and maintain Functional Safety and Cybersecurity concepts (FMEA, FTA, TARA, etc.) and ASPICE-aligned work products.

Serve as the senior systems liaison across engineering disciplines and in design/milestone reviews; provide technical guidance on critical deliverables as needed.

What you have

10+ years in Systems Engineering or a related role, with end-to-end ownership of complex sensor or embedded systems.

Hands-on experience in sensor systems, with depth in opto-mechanics/optics and DSP/signal processing. Lidar experience strongly preferred.

Expertise in ASPICE, ISO 26262, ISO/SAE 21434, and ISO 21448 processes and documentation.

Experience with requirements management tools (e.g., DOORS, Polarion, JAMA) and MBSE/SysML (preferred).

Strong analytical and communication skills; comfortable driving technical trade-offs across multidisciplinary teams.

What's in it for you

Be the first systems engineer in our Bangalore office in this domain — help establish the team, culture, and technical foundation from the ground up
