  • Experienced working with colleagues and external partners to develop constraints and specifications collaboratively - software, mechanical, thermal, manufacturing, and others.
  • Excited about being able to operate with substantial freedom.

What you have:

  • Engineering degree or related experience in volume electrical hardware.
  • A deep familiarity with embedded systems.
