Summary
At Zero Point Motion we are redefining inertial sensors to enable high precision
positioning and navigation. Our mission is to provide exquisitely low-noise readout of acceleration
and rotation using cavity opto-mechanics in a hybrid MEMS/photonic chip.
We’re a start-up commercialising technology invented by the CEO, Dr Lia Li, and with a founding team including semiconductor veterans, we operate a VC-funded, fabless business.
We're seeking enthusiastic engineers to join our team and shape our technology
design, strategy, and workflow. Together we will bring aerospace/defence levels of sensor
performance to commercial mass markets to transform indoor, autonomous and GNSS-denied
navigation. Can you help us disrupt the inertial sensing market?
Role Overview
We are seeking experienced MOEMS system architect to oversee development of the control architecture of our MEMS/PIC inertial sensor devices. Our collaborative culture of knowledge exchange means no prior experience in inertial sensors is required, just your enthusiasm to learn. We are especially eager to find candidates who have designed system architecture (e.g. control, mixed signal, DSP, FPGA, ASIC) in laser enabled chip devices with experience in either chipscale LIDAR, optical switches or MEMS-enabled silicon photonics. You will be working directly with the company CEO/inventor, and will be responsible for bringing together the chip outputs from the MEMS and PIC teams through prototype to product. This means planning and leading a team to create the control hardware, embedded software and algorithms, whilst adapting to the dynamic supply chain. Your background in MOEMS system integration and laser/detector systems will guide key architecture choices and software requirements. You will be part of our core team working with an experienced group of electronic engineers, physicists, chip designers and hardware engineers in a fast-paced environment that requires self-motivation and a willingness to embrace new ideas. We want dynamic people that understand the scale and nature of our goal, who can challenge our assumptions. This is an exciting opportunity for an engineer who has been working with MOEMS devices to join a small start-up with big ambitions who will value your personal initiative.
Package
