Hardware Engineering Technician; Assembly and Testing

We’re now scaling production of our newest systems and we’re hiring our first hands‑on Hardware Engineering Technician to own builds end‑to‑end: from assembly to flashing, testing, QA, and keeping parts/inventory ready.

• Full-time role at our San Francisco, CA office
• Comprehensive Health, Vision, and Dental coverage, and we cover 100% of the premium for you.
• We move fast, and you'll have a lot of autonomy/ownership over your work.
• Our team is close‑knit & highly driven, you’ll work directly with our entire team
• We’re deeply motivated by the impact we’re making – every new system deployed means much less food that goes to waste, and many more people who are fed.

• Build our camera systems end‑to‑end: mechanical + electrical assembly (fasteners, enclosures, cable routing, connectors)
• Flash/configure embedded computers: follow a computer‑based workflow to image/flash devices and enter configs
• Test + QA: run standard camera/functional tests; perform basic mechanical/electrical QA; document results
• Troubleshoot + feedback: identify issues, do basic rework, and provide clear, detailed notes to engineering
• SOP execution + improvement: follow instructions precisely; help create/improve SOPs and checklists
• Parts + purchasing + inventory: order parts, communicate with suppliers, track shipments, manage BOM inventory, source alternates, maintain follow‑ups to keep builds on schedule

• Process‑oriented, skilled at following detailed build instructions to maintain consistent assemblies, and keep excellent records
• Significant experience assembling hardware and electrical/embedded systems
• Strong mechanical aptitude (use common tools safely, clean cable management, etc)
• General electrical skills (connectors, harness routing, safe handling)
• Very comfortable using a computer for technical workflows (click‑through tools + typing configs)
• Can read mechanical drawings / build docs
• Highly organized and detail‑oriented (especially with supplier relations and build schedule‑critical tasks)

• Familiarity with Linux computers
• Experience flashing software onto embedded devices (Jetson a big plus)
• Experience working with camera hardware in real‑world, outdoor environments.
• Experience with creating and implementing thorough test procedures
• You aren't afraid of moving fast, and are comfortable with a lot of autonomy.
