A Bachelor's degree in engineering (software, computer, electrical, aerospace, mechanical, or other technical engineering discipline) is required. If you have a Master's or PhD in engineering, it would be a great plus.

This role offers a competitive salary range of $130,000 - $150,000 per year, depending on your qualifications and experience.

We're committed to fostering a dynamic and inclusive environment where our employees feel empowered to contribute their best ideas and expertise. We check our egos at the door and roll up our sleeves on all tasks big and small. We thrive under pressure, work to tight deadlines, and focus on how we can deliver rather than dwelling on the challenges that stand in the way.
