About the role
Builds and assembly: Put together the computers, server racks, and test rigs the whole team runs on, built well enough that people trust them. Catch the problems that look small now before they cost someone a day later. Cabling and networking: Run and terminate the network and power cabling and install the switches the lab depends on, then leave it clean and labeled enough that the next person never has to guess.
What they're looking for
- Handy end to end: Give you a job like running cable from the rack to the roof, and you can plan the route, put together the bill of materials, and finish it as a clean, tidy install
- Mounting, drilling, fastening, and cable routing come naturally
- Fabrication and shop skills: You can make and modify parts: 3D printing, basic machining, welding, or confident work with hand and power tools
- Basic computer skills: You can build or set up a computer and find your way around Linux, or you’re keen to learn it fast
- Some electronics exposure: Any hands-on experience with breadboarding, soldering, or crimping harnesses
- Careful and organized: You handle expensive equipment with care, label your work, and leave things tidy for the next person
More about this role
Company Background
Specter's mission is to help automate the physical world.
Today, we build video sensors with state-of-the-art AI agents that answer any question, anywhere in their environments. Our systems can automatically detect and reason about any physical activity captured on camera, from security incidents (e.g. perimeter intrusion, theft, LPR), to safety monitoring (e.g. PPE detection, injured people), to operational efficiency (e.g. material tracking, congestion monitoring). We offer both long range wireless (1km range) and wired sensor variants to suit any deployment.
Our co-founders Xerxes and Philip are passionate about empowering our partners in the fast approaching world of physical AI and robotics. We are a small, fast growing team who hail from Anduril, Tesla, Uber, and the U.S. Special Forces.
The Role
If you love making real things, this role is built for you. You’ll work with your hands and your head in equal measure: fabricating a bracket to mount hardware on the roof one day, wiring up a test rig the next, then working out how to get a pile of loose electronics enclosed, powered, and running outdoors. Early on the jobs come well-scoped. As you find your...
