Senior Electrical Engineer

At Omnitron Sensors, our team of award-winning industry veterans is pioneering the next generation of MEMS devices. We went outside the box to change how MEMS are made so you can take a gigantic leap in product performance and capabilities. We’re out to impact every part of the sensor ecosystem, bringing Omnitron’s platform to the forefront of sensor development.

We do things differently. We challenge conventional thinking and traditionally accepted methods to reinvent how MEMS are manufactured. Our process IP results in a MEMS topology that simplifies the assembly process to improve the performance of sensor applications. By using our approach, you can build leading-edge MEMS sensing technology at low cost and high performance.
