About Ohm

Ohm helps engineering teams accelerate hardware development & testing. Backed by Y Combinator.

About the role

Your role is to develop and ship the technical capabilities that will deliver the greatest measurable ROI for Ohm's customers. You will use AI tools to operate independently without a traditional R&D-to-engineering handoff. You bring the domain knowledge to identify what to build, the engineering capability to build it, and the commercial instinct to prioritize the changes that compound customer value fastest.

What they're looking for

  • Deep test and validation experience. You have spent years inside T&V programs for complex hardware - cell or pack qualification, environmental and reliability testing, or equivalent programs in aerospace, medical devices, or defense
  • Test engineering fluency. Design of experiments, reliability engineering, statistical inference on test data, requirements-driven test planning, and optimal test plan design
  • Applied data experience. You have used data science, data engineering, and/or machine learning techniques in industrial applications. You are fluent in Python
  • AI-forward. You have thought carefully about where AI can accelerate hardware test programs, and can give concrete examples of using AI or data-driven methods in your own work
More about this role

Ohm is an enterprise AI platform that helps engineering teams transform how they develop, test, and validate physical products.

Cursor and Claude Code reimagined how software products are developed. Our mission is to address the next frontier: bringing that same shift to how physical products are developed.

Every complex physical product - a battery cell, an electric vehicle, a wearable device - is developed through a process that generates enormous quantities of data, almost none of which is used to its potential. This is precisely the kind of problem modern AI is suited to solve.

We are recruiting exceptional scientists, engineers, and operators to join our mission to reimagine how products are engineered in the next decade.
