About Coram

AI native physical security platform for video, access, visitors, and emergency response. Detect threats, investigate faster, and coordinate response from one unified system. Backed by Battery and Air Street.

About the role

Coram builds physical security hardware: cameras, door-access controllers, intercoms. Real boxes that get screwed to walls in schools and offices, with electronics and AI inside them. The access-control line is already shipping and installed at customer sites. You inherit it, keep it healthy, and then build the next two product lines from concept to mass production: edge-enabled cameras and intercoms. We want both inside a year.

What they're looking for

  • 5+ years of experience in production mechanical or electrical engineering
  • Firsthand experience shipping a product through an external contract manufacturer at volume with the ability to talk in detail about the partner, the product and the numbers involved
  • Experience owning factory relationships directly versus passing off a design to a TPM or a manufacturing engineer at the transfer point
  • Experience owning a full design transfer package: CAD, BOM, assembly instructions, test procedures, quality criteria, drawings
  • Experience taking products through certification. FCC at minimum. CE and UL are relevant to what we build and advantageous to have familiarity with
  • Experience shipping fast under constraint with the ability to speak about what you chose to cut to hit a date
