One small step for manufacturing,
one giant leap for MEMS-kind
At Omnitron Sensors, we see things differently. Our maverick thinking makes high-volume production possible for your next-level MEMS and sensor designs. We’re challenging the norm—cleverly rearranging silicon process steps and inventing a packaging method to create what we call “a new topology for MEMS.”
01 OUR VISION
We’re rewriting the script on building high-performance and low-cost sensors for the world of tomorrow
02 OUR MISSION
We pursue moonshots that break through the barriers of MEMS manufacturing—because nothing’s more important than spurring development of technologies that improve our quality of life
Our storied team of industry pioneers is reinventing how MEMS devices are manufactured.
Best-in-Class Team
Think you know MEMS manufacturing?
THINK AGAIN
The way you’ve built MEMS devices all these years is outdated—and it’s time for something better. A revolutionary topology for MEMS free us from the limits of traditional MEMS manufacturing, which have gated our achievements…until now.
Our MEMS topology dramatically improves the capabilities, robustness and reliability of the MEMS optical subsystem in LiDAR applications. It shrinks the formfactor, slashes the cost, and reduces the data, giving you a whole new understanding of your environment in a small, rugged, affordable device that optimizes your LiDAR—and delights your customers.
Seeking Maverick Thinkers
Are you a capable technophile allergic to the status quo? We have openings for engineers, business developers, and others who want to join our team and shake up the industry.
