## 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
