“Cepton is committed to helping our customers bring self-driving vehicles to market by mass producing long range, high resolution, compact LiDAR sensors at an affordable price,” said Cepton Technologies CEO and co-founder, Jun Pei.

“It makes sense to have a team based in Detroit where they can work closely with our customers to help them accomplish their goals and obtain their feedback.”

The Detroit office will be staffed with three team members and has plans to expand up to ten employees during the next 12 months. The company’s director of Business Development, Mitch Hourtienne, will lead the office expansion with members from other Cepton offices around the world visiting and working short-term rotations.
