Requirements
  • Impact - You're deeply mission-driven and you think there's more to life than products that enable puppy ears to be superimposed on photos. Although we concede those are cute
  • Hardware chops - You have a proven track record of leading and growing a hardware team, with an eye for great products and technical excellence. You have a deep understanding of hardware engineering to influence prototype designs, sensor selection, architectural decisions, vendor identification, test plans, safety requirements, electrical systems and material choices
  • Entrepreneurship - You're a self-starter who loves to own things end-to-end. You don't ask for permission - you're too busy making things happen
  • Team player - You know how to make those around you better and feed off their energy. You take care of your teammates
  • Curiosity - You like to mess around with computer vision, hardware hacking, or bioinformatics in your free time? You made your own smart mirror? Boy have we got some fun things for you…
  • You have a BS or MS in mechanical/electrical engineering or a related field with 2+ years as a hardware engineering manager
