Your Impact

Are you passionate about guiding high-complexity AI hardware from initial prototype build to full-scale production? As a T2P (Transfer to Production) Engineer, you will orchestrate the transfer of hardware designs from engineering development to volume manufacturing across EVBs, characterization platforms, and system boards. Lead design data and documentation in Agile PLM, maintain revision and change records, and serve as the focal point for design, engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain teams.

You will oversee complete post-fab design packages, drive Engineering Change Orders (ECOs), ensure configuration traceability across schematics, BOMs, and ODB++/Gerber, drawings, stack-ups, work instructions (WI), Paste files, release packages, and partner closely with Electrical, PCB CAD, Mechanical, Quality, and Contract Manufacturing partners to streamline production readiness.

Enjoy the speed and creative ownership of a startup with the scale and benefits of a global tech giant—join our growing Silicon One team right next to the Caesarea train station!
