Job summary

Coram AI is seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer to own the electrical design of our next-generation edge-AI devices, from reference designs to production. You’ll shape hardware that runs at the edge in rugged environments and scale globally.

You’ll lead end-to-end board design, evaluate chipsets, manage bring-up and validation, and drive field deployment while collaborating with hardware and software teams in a fast-moving startup.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field
• 5+ years of hardware product development with at least one product shipped at volume
• Strong schematic capture and PCB layout proficiency (Altium or equivalent), including high-speed digital design: DDR/LPDDR, MIPI CSI-2, USB, Ethernet, and PoE
• Hands-on lab and bring-up skills with a scope and logic analyzer
• Working embedded software competence: C, embedded Linux (Yocto or Buildroot), U-Boot, device trees, and driver fluency
• DFM experience and a track record of working with contract manufacturers through NPI
• Resilient in challenging, fast-paced environments
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills in English
• Ability to work onsite in the same room for faster progress

Responsibilities

• Own board design end to end: architecture, component selection, schematic capture, PCB layout, and design reviews for edge-inferencing cameras, intercoms, door readers, and access control hardware
• Evaluate embedded chipsets, adapt reference designs and EVKs into production designs meeting cost, power, and form-factor targets
• Own board bring-up and validation: power sequencing, signal integrity, sensor and peripheral bring-up, functional test development, EMC/regulatory pre-compliance
• Own the embedded platform on your boards: BSP, bootloader, device trees, drivers, and base image for field boot, streaming, and updates
• Design for environments our products live in: PoE budgets, surge/ESD protection, audio paths, interfaces (OSDP, Wiegand, RS-485), and thermal behavior in sealed enclosures
• Own 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
