Job description

At Ansync Labs, we build complete systems under one roof. Our team spans software, PCB design, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and precision machining. As a software engineer here, you aren't isolated behind a desk writing abstract code - you operate at the center of a multidisciplinary engineering team, working directly alongside electrical, mechanical, and fabrication engineers to bring physical systems to life.

We partner with fast-paced startups, defense contractors, research institutions, and independent inventors while actively running internal R&D in cutting-edge electronics, computer vision, and operational tooling. We're looking for engineers who live and breathe getting hands-on with technology and building complex systems in a dynamic, high-velocity environment.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Architect and build solutions ranging from embedded firmware and IoT devices to web/mobile applications and cloud backends.
• Work directly with hardware engineers, machinists, and clients to turn high-level concepts into reliable, production-ready systems.
• Implement rigorous testing strategies (unit, integration, and hardware-in-the-loop) to ensure stability, safety, and performance.
• Utilize AI-assisted development tools (like Claude Code) to accelerate execution, focusing your creative effort on system design, logic, and verification.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• Strong technical communication skills with a team-first approach to problem-solving, code reviews, and working across hardware and software boundaries.
• Experience writing Verilog for FPGA platforms (e.g., Lattice, Altera) to interface with microcontrollers and custom hardware.
• Deep understanding of testing methodologies and how to verify that complex systems behave reliably in production.
• Practical experience integrating AI coding tools (Claude Code, Copilot, etc.) into your workflow while maintaining high architectural standards.
• A drive to understand how things work under the hood, with the confidence to take ownership of open-ended problems and learn unfamiliar tech on the fly.

REQUIREMENTS

• This position requires access to information subject to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). All applicants must qualify as a U.S. Person under 22 C.F.R. § 120.62.
• Bachelor's degree from an accredited 4-year university and 1-2 years of applicable professional experience, OR 5+ years of applicable professional experience without a degree.
• This position is 100% on-site. Applicants must live within 30 miles of our El Dorado Hills, CA office.
• Resumes must be submitted in PDF format.
• Your resume PDF must include an image of an aardvark on a dedicated final page. Applications without this page will not be considered.
