Full company description
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, 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.

Lumotive has 1 open jobs in Canada as of November 6, 2026. Top locations: Burnaby.
10+ YOECandidates need at least 10 years of technical sales or business development in semiconductors, optoelectronics or depth sensing, and a proven record of winning designs that ramp to volume. A strong network among ToF, lidar and 3D sensing module makers and OEMs, plus executive presence and the ability to work autonomously across time zones, are essential.
