  • 4 to 10 years of hands-on experience designing PCBs and embedded systems for hardware or robotics.
  • Proven track record taking electrical architectures from concept through prototype in a startup or R&D setting.
  • Deep familiarity with safety standards and testing protocols relevant to defense or industrial manufacturing.
  • Ability to thrive in a hybrid San Francisco environment with a lean, mission-driven team.
