We don’t just want you to work here. We want you to grow and thrive here. We’re embracing a hybrid work model that enables our teams to split their time between office and home. Hybrid for us means we expect our teams to come together in our state-of-the-art office on two core days, typically Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday – working together in person and choosing where they work for the remainder of the week. We all benefit from flexibility and get to use the best of both worlds to get our work done. Why are we hiring? Well, we’re growing and thriving.

Escalate resource or knowledge gaps to your lead or manager. Assist with documentation for the Technical Requirements Document. Complete well-defined engineering tasks and deliverables assigned by senior engineers or the engineering lead. Support risk identification within your assigned scope of work. Build foundational knowledge of emerging technologies, sensors, and manufacturing processes relevant to product design. Bring energy and curiosity to your work and ask questions to grow quickly.

Basic familiarity with embedded systems concepts such as UART, SPI, I2C, USB, or similar interfaces is a plus. Exposure to RF technologies (Sub-GHz, WiFi, BLE) is a plus but not required. A demonstrated bias for action and a strong desire to grow into a systems engineering role. Travel: Willing to travel to our manufacturing partners in China 1-3 times per year.
