## About the role

Canary sells a self check-in kiosk to hotels, and this role owns it. This is Canary's first hardware hire: we have no in-house industrial, mechanical, or electrical engineers, so outside design consultants and the factory do the design work. You'll write the specification, select the design consultants and the factory, and review every design — rejecting any design that isn't correct. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Took one hardware product from the first specification to units in the field at a small company, and owned the whole product — not one part of it (e.g. only the enclosure, the circuit board, or the schedule)
- Designed and built the hardware, not bought a finished terminal (e.g. an Elo touchscreen in a standard enclosure)
- Does the work: has done substantial hands-on hardware work personally in the last six months, not only through a team
- Has managed outside design consultants and/or a factory, including rejecting a design that was not correct
- Knows enough industrial, mechanical, and electrical design to find errors in a consultant's or factory's work (does not need to produce CAD)
- Lives in New York City or will relocate
