Founding Electrical Engineer

Stealth-mode startup. Mission-critical tech. Ground-floor opportunity.

Our client is an early-stage, stealth-mode company building a new kind of control plane for the physical world - blending hardware, software, and wireless sensing into one unified system. Their work enables Real Time awareness, autonomous operations, and next-generation physical security for high-value assets.

They're backed by top investors and led by a founding team with experience at Anduril, Tesla, Uber, and U.S. Special Forces.

We're looking for a Founding Electrical Engineer to lead the design and development of modular sensor systems and rugged compute platforms.

What you'll do

  • Design and deploy Embedded systems for multi-modal sensing hardware
  • Own the electrical architecture: PCBs, power systems, RF, sensors, and high-speed digital
  • Lead schematic and board design, system bring-up, integration, and lab testing
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (mechanical, RF, firmware)
  • Support field deployments and evolve hardware based on real-world feedback
  • Build out the EE function - team, tooling, and processes

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years designing and testing complex Embedded systems
  • Strong background in mixed signal, power electronics, sensor integration, and rugged design
  • Familiarity with RF systems, high-speed protocols, and EMI/EMC best practices
  • Proficient with Altium (or equivalent), lab equipment, and simulation tools
  • Comfortable operating in ambiguity - startup-ready and execution-focused

Why join?

You'll be joining at day zero. What you build will ship. What you design will shape the future. And what they're building - you won't find anywhere else.
