The role :
As a Design Engineer at Coram AI, you’ll own the mechanical and electromechanical design of our next-generation security and edge-AI systems. You’ll bridge industrial design, manufacturing, and field deployment: building products that integrate compute, power, and connectivity in rugged, real-world environments. You’ll take ideas from concept through production, shaping how our hardware scales globally.

Responsibilities:

• Lead the design, development, and validation of electromechanical assemblies balancing performance, manufacturability, and cost

• Own the full product lifecycle from prototype through EVT/DVT/PVT, vendor handoff, and field deployment

• Manage vendor and supplier relationships to ensure on-time, high-quality delivery

• Be a proactive self-starter: take initiative, act with urgency, and bring a scrappy, hands-on approach to problem solving in fast-moving environments

• Drive execution across multiple workstreams with urgency and accountability

• Working knowledge of thermal, vibration, and environmental design considerations

• Resilient in challenging and fast-paced environments

• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills in English, with the ability to influence at all levels

• Ability to work in an onsite environment - we move quicker when we’re in the same room

Nice-to-haves:

• Chinese proficiency and experience leading vendor engagement or manufacturing with partners in Taiwan and China

• Strong hands-on prototyping instincts with the ability to translate ideas into physical proofs of concept and iterate fast

• Ability to take projects from half-baked idea to working hardware without waiting for direction

• Curiosity and personal drive to learn new fabrication methods, materials, and processes to expand your range as an engineer

What we offer:

• Competitive compensation package (base salary + variable compensation)

• 100% Employer-paid medical, dental, vision, and base life insurance

• Flexible paid time off and 10 paid holidays
