Electrical Engineer
San Jose, CA - USA
Job Summary
As an Electrical Engineer at Mashgin you will be a primary driver of our hardware evolution. You will be expected to pivot quickly as project requirements evolve tackling complex technical hurdles with a sense of urgency and a fail fast learn faster mentality. While your technical chops in hardware design are paramount your success will be defined by your ability to navigate ambiguity and deliver high-quality engineering solutions under aggressive timelines.
This role demands a high degree of vocal engineering. We are looking for a candidate who will frequently wear a Program Manager hat is comfortable speaking up and can effectively communicate technical risks to non-technical stakeholders create timelines and milestones drive those timelines and milestones. This is an opportunity for an engineer who thrives on ownership and wants to blend technical execution with the strategic oversight necessary to scale a product from prototype to market.
- Impact: You will own significant responsibility and have total ownership over your work. We stay lean and efficient so your work directly impacts the product we ship every day.
- Simplicity: Complexity is a waste of time herewe take pride in building things that just work.
- Hard Work: Forget the glamorous research papers. We prioritize the hard work it takes to achieve real-world clarity and accuracy. You will innovate relentlessly to push the boundaries of whats possible in visual automation.
- Humility: No task is beneath you. Whether its high-level architecture or grunt work to fix a bug we check our egos at the door and get real work done.
- Ruthless Prioritization: If everything is on fire nothing is. You will be expected to prioritize ruthlessly cutting through distractions to focus on the most impactful product improvements.
- Customer Innovation: We are customer-centric not customer-pleasing. You wont bend to every client demand; you will let innovation drive the product forward to solve the real problems our users face.
- Efficiency: Meetings suck. We keep them short and only use them for alignment giving you your time back to focus on real work.
