Über diese Director, North America Sales, Optical Semiconductors & 3D Sensing Stelle bei Lumotive
Lumotive · Vor Ort · Burnaby, BC
Lumotive is pioneering the era of programmable optics—where light is controlled as intelligently and flexibly as software.
At the heart of this transformation is a once-in-a-generation innovation: a flat CMOS-based “general purpose optic.” Lumotive’s Light Control Metasurface (LCM™) beam forming chips can be programmed to function as a beam steering mirror, a lens, mirror, a beam splitter—or any optical function—replacing bulky and mechanical optical components with a fully digital, reconfigurable semiconductor . This breakthrough lays the foundation for a massive shift in multiple technologies—from 3D sensing and imaging to optical networking, free space optical communication, and beyond. Like the shift from analog to digital in electronics, programmable optics will reshape industries from robotics, self-driving cars, AI, defense, and healthcare.
Lumotive’s first commercial application is in LiDAR, where its software-defined beam steering chips are already enabling compact, high-performance, solid-state sensors. These sensors are being deployed today in smart infrastructure, robotics, and mobility systems through leading module makers and solution integrators.
With more than 200 patents and growing commercial traction, Lumotive is delivering the world’s first digital platform for light—and redefining what’s possible in the optical age.

- Work closely with global sales, marketing, product, and operations teams to ensure alignment on company goals and customer commitments.
- Represent Lumotive at trade shows, industry conferences, and customer meetings throughout the region.
Qualifications:
- Minimum of 10 years of technical sales or business development experience in semiconductors, optoelectronics, or depth sensing technologies.
- Proven track record of managing sales across North America and winning designs that ramp to volume production.
- Established network across North America’s ToF, 3D sensing, lidar, or imaging ecosystems, particularly among module makers, OEMs, and system integrators.
- Strong understanding of optical semiconductor technologies and their system-level applications.
- Exceptional negotiation, communication, and interpersonal skills, with executive presence.
- Ability to operate autonomously as the initial one-person regional team and work effectively across multiple time zones.
- Experience selling lidar, ToF, 3D sensing, or optical modules into industrial robotics, smart infrastructure, or security markets is preferred.
