About Ommatidia LiDAR

At Ommatidia LiDAR, we take inspiration from nature to design cutting-edge LiDAR technology. Our systems combine compact form factors with extraordinary sensing precision, enabling new possibilities for autonomous vehicles, robotics, drones, industrial automation, and smart infrastructure. By pushing the boundaries of photonics, optics, electronics, and mechanics, we are building the next generation of high-performance LiDAR solutions.

Why Join Us?

As an intern at Ommatidia, you’ll work alongside experts in multiple engineering domains, gaining hands-on experience in real R&D projects. This is a chance to:

• Contribute directly to the development of core LiDAR technologies
• Gain exposure to multidisciplinary engineering (photonics, optics, electronics, mechanics)
• Work in a fast-paced, innovative startup environment
• Grow your skills through mentorship and real-world problem solving

Internship Tracks

We offer internship opportunities in the following areas:

Photonics

• Automate photonic chip characterization workflows
• Design novel on-chip components using commercial foundry PDKs for FMCW LiDAR
• Contribute to custom assembly and packaging automation for photonic chips

Optics

• Support alignment and assembly of optical systems

Electronics

• Design and test ASICs for Ommatidia’s LiDAR platforms
• Develop PCB boards for ASIC signal processing
• Create short-range Bluetooth-based communication systems between ASICs and PCB boards

Mechanics

• Perform thermal analysis of antenna systems, modeling in FreeCAD and AutoCAD
• Analyze thermal effects of ASICs on FVA and microlens gluing
• Develop a digital twin of chip packaging systems, including Python-based FreeCAD macros

Qualifications

• Currently pursuing a degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Optics, Photonics, or a related field
• Strong foundation in at least one of the listed tracks (photonics, optics, electronics, or mechanics)
• Problem-solving mindset and enthusiasm for hands-on innovation
• Lastly and most importantly, absolute passion for working in technology, which means willing to think as, perform up to and even transform into, a machine.

What We Offer

• Mentorship from a multidisciplinary and multinational engineering team
