Position Summary

As an Electrical Engineer at Mashgin, you will be a primary driver of our hardware evolution. You will be expected to pivot quickly as project requirements evolve, tackling complex technical hurdles with a sense of urgency and a "fail fast, learn faster" mentality. While your technical chops in hardware design are paramount, your success will be defined by your ability to navigate ambiguity and deliver high-quality engineering solutions under aggressive timelines.

This role demands a high degree of "vocal engineering". We are looking for a candidate who will frequently wear a Program Manager hat, is comfortable speaking up, and can effectively communicate technical risks to non-technical stakeholders, create timelines and milestones, drive those timelines and milestones. This is an opportunity for an engineer who thrives on ownership and wants to blend technical execution with the strategic oversight necessary to scale a product from prototype to market.

This is a hybrid remote role where you'd be required to be onsite in San Jose, CA at least 2 times a week.
