Our mission‑driven team values learning and curiosity in a high‑ownership culture.

What you'll do

• Work on end‑to‑end design and manufacturing of critical PCBAs in the system

• Rapid prototyping, component selection, schematic capture, prototype bring‑up and debugging, hardware bug tracking, functional verification, and signal characterization

• Board layout of PCB assemblies including SoCs, microcontrollers, rugged connectors, sensors, power devices, etc.

• Electromechanical integration through collaboration with mechanical and firmware engineers

• Develop specifications and accelerated test plans to validate the product for its lifetime

• Work with CMs to ensure proper production of PCBAs and subassemblies, perhaps also flying out to be on the line as well

What we look for

• Technical degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent

• 2-4 years of professional electrical design experience on a product (preferably a consumer product) that has shipped in high volume

• Previous ECAD experience with tools such as Altium Designer, Cadence, or equivalent

• Experience with component selection, schematic capture, and PCB layout

• Experience with verifying and validating functional requirements of the electrical systems

• Exposure to regulatory certification processes

• Supply chain management and PCBA contract manufacturing experience

• Comfort with fast‑paced, startup atmosphere -- you don’t shy away from the hard work

• High level of maturity, ownership, and pride in your work

We’d love to hear from you if…

• You are genuinely motivated to help those around you

• You are passionate about learning outside of your normal comfort zones

• You love diagnosing complex technical issues

• You are excited to do great work
