Role Overview:
Aeva is looking to bring on an Optical Engineer Intern to join our team for the summer (10-12 weeks). This internship offers hands-on experience in various aspects of optical engineering, providing a valuable opportunity to apply classroom knowledge to real-world projects. The intern will contribute to the design, development, and testing of complex optical sub-components and systems used within Aeva’s LiDAR coherent sensing system.

What you'll do:

  • Design and analyze optical systems, including developing optical architectures, evaluating tolerances, and trade-offs analysis.
  • Perform sequential and non-sequential simulations of optical systems.
  • Direct specification development for detailed drawings of optical components.
  • Test and characterize the LiDAR sensor and optical sub-systems using table-top experimental set ups and dedicated testing facilities.

What you'll have:

  • Currently pursuing a degree in optical engineering, physics, or a related field with 3+ years completed
  • Experience in optical systems design
  • Ability to model and script in ZEMAX, Code V, Fred, or similar
  • Experience in tolerance analysis, stray-light and scattering analysis
  • Hands-on laboratory skills in setting up, testing, validating, and troubleshooting optical, fiber optic and opto-mechanical subsystems
