Job description

Help define the future of hardware development by building a collaboration platform for circuit designs, enabling the next generation of smart vehicles, IoT devices, rockets, medical devices, robotics, and much more.

At AllSpice, we're building the agile development framework for hardware designers, including a Git-friendly translation layer and automated CI/CD framework for native circuit designs — think GitHub/GitLab + Copilot for electronics.

• Strong project management skills with the ability to drive cross‑functional initiatives
• Comfort with ambiguity and a high degree of autonomy
• Can think in terms of the big picture and deliver on the details
