About Tacit

We are an early-stage, stealth tech startup based in San Francisco, developing innovative hardware that rethinks human-computer interaction. Backed by Purple Arch Ventures.

About the role

We're looking for a System Electrical Engineer to validate, debug, and improve the core electrical blocks of our next-generation sensing hardware. You'll sit between design and validation: you'll bring up prototypes on the bench, find out how each architectural block really performs, root-cause what doesn't, and feed those findings back into the next schematic and layout. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
  • 3+ years of experience in electrical engineering, hardware design, or hardware validation
  • Strong EE fundamentals: analog and mixed-signal circuits, power conversion and regulation, signal integrity, power integrity, and grounding
  • Strong hands-on debug skills, with a track record of root-causing hardware issues on real boards
  • Hands-on experience with board bring-up and lab instruments such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power supplies, electronic loads, and probes
  • Experience with schematic capture and PCB design for multi-layer boards, in Altium Designer or an equivalent tool
More about this role

We are an early-stage, deep tech startup based in San Francisco, developing innovative hardware that rethinks human-computer interaction. We are backed by General Catalyst, Khosla Ventures, and Greylock Partners, with a founding team from Stanford, BrainGate, Oculus, and Tesla. While we can’t reveal too much just yet, our team is tackling cutting-edge engineering challenges to bring revolutionary products to life.

Your work spans the product from prototype to mass production: bring-up, design updates, and test implementation. The goal of each design cycle is better performance, lower power, and smaller area. As our products move toward production, there is room to grow into supporting builds with our contract manufacturers.
