About the role

We're hiring hardware engineers from mechanical, electrical, mechatronics, robotics, aerospace, and related backgrounds. We're especially interested in candidates whose work has spanned more than one of these disciplines, in industries like automotive, aerospace, or robotics.

What they're looking for

  • Owned end-to-end engineering scope within a multidisciplinary products, such as launch vehicles, motorsports, robotics, aerospace, etc
  • T-shaped technical excellence: broad understanding across multiple domains and how they interact, implications of trade-offs, etc, while also having deep technical expertise in 1-2 areas
  • Evidence of strong first principles thinking: someone who has challenged and broken through conventional wisdom or “this is how we’ve always done it” syndrome within their industry to create a step-function improvement
  • Excitement to work in a fast-paced, high-performance environment, and embrace extreme ownership
  • The ability to prioritize impact by ruthlessly finding the bottlenecks and solving the most important problems
  • Hands-on builders who can speak to the excruciating minutia and details of their work, and excited to execute instead of manage/organize others work

Our work is bigger than all of us, and our obsession with manifesting is what drives us. Roughly 50% of our team are former founders, and we strive for technical excellence, but quell our egos to ensure that the best ideas always win.

We acknowledge the long and arduous path ahead to achieve our ambitions; that many of the most difficult challenges have yet to even be revealed to us;...
