Sovereign-scale infrastructure, at lightspeed. Backed by Space Capital.
About the role
Own electrical boards end to end: requirements and system trades, architecture, component selection, schematic capture, PCB layout, bring-up, debug, documentation, production release, and test. Do your own layout. You'll be placing parts and routing boards, not handing a schematic to someone else. Stackup, impedance control, power planes, thermal reliefs, creepage and clearance, and DFM for our own floor are your call. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or physics
- 5+ years designing circuits, electronic products, or hardware in industry
- You've taken new boards from a blank schematic through production, not incremental revisions of something that already existed, and you can show us the layouts
- Fluent in at least one ECAD tool (we use KiCad, Altium or similar is fine) and able to manage a shared library and release process
- Sovereignty is built, not declared — come build it with us

Infrastructure for the Autonomous Era · First in. First up.
On-site · Austin, TX
---------------------------------------------------
First Order Effects (FOE) is building America's Infrastructure Prime for the robotic era. Autonomous ships, drones, and robots are rewriting how the world moves, fights, and builds - but none of them work without infrastructure to power them, connect them, and launch and recover them.
Our team comes from SpaceX, Anduril, Saronic, Lockheed Skunk Works, Forterra, and Fuse Energy. Before founding FOE, we built satellite ground stations that closed a national comms gap in days, deployed multi-megawatt power systems at commercial speed, and shipped autonomous surface vessels into Navy fleet production.
