- Advance the device from prototype toward production, including design for manufacture, testing, supplier coordination, and assembly.
- Identify and resolve risks during hardware bring-up, real-world testing, and manufacturing.
- Own hardware decisions and the quality of finished devices.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- Typically 2 to 7 years of hardware engineering experience, including individual-contributor experience or a strong early-career foundation.
- Personal experience designing PCBs that shipped in a real product, ideally a compact wearable, IoT device, or consumer electronic product.
- Prototype-to-production experience, or strong fundamentals and demonstrated ability to work quickly with AI tools.
- Hands-on capability across PCB layout, power, RF, testing, suppliers, and assembly.
- Interest in taking ownership across design, validation, and manufacturing; experience in the specific product domain is not required.
