  • Experience working at a startup or rapid development environment
  • Experience using Altium PCBA Design Tools
  • Able to demonstrate project management skills and tools (Jira, Smartsheets, Microsoft Project, etc.)
  • Experience with C, C++ and/or python programming language

This is a hybrid position (onsite + remote) and will require you to be onsite as required to perform testing, troubleshooting, manufacturing support, etc. The Bay Area salary for this role is $97k-$108k + pre-IPO stock options + benefits.
