Job description

This role is simple: you make things that work, and you make them fast. You take rough ideas and turn them into repeatable, data-collecting prototypes. You own the full prototype cycle, iterate quickly, learn from failure, and trade perfection for results when it matters. You like being hands‑on, you enjoy rapid cycles of build-test-learn, and you get energized by shipping messy systems that actually collect useful data in the field.

Requirements

We are hiring both junior and senior people who fit that description. Junior hires should show clear, recent hands‑on projects and a demonstrated ability to iterate quickly. Senior hires should show they have led shipping prototypes, shortened cycle time, made systems more repeatable, and mentored others. Above all we value speed, practical judgment, and a relentless bias toward building.

If you are the sort of maker or coder who would put a 3D printer on wheels, make a Pringles can fly, or build a gasoline scooter because electric scooters weren’t allowed on your campus, you will feel at home at Marble. If you are someone who would aspire to work at SpaceX or Tesla if you lived in the US, then this is your moment. We are looking for people who would have a great YouTube channel but are too focused on building to bother filming themselves. If you bring that mindset in hardware, electronics, or embedded systems, we want to hear from you.

Timeline

We will be reviewing applications immediately and start interviewing as early as January 2026.
