Job Description
Our client is a privately held technology company developing advanced hardware systems. They design and build all their products in-house, and this includes the entire electrical stack - from early design requirements through manufacturing and testing. The environment prioritizes end-to-end ownership, rapid development, and direct collaboration between disciplines.
In this role, you will contribute to every stage of electrical hardware development. You'll work with a small team of engineers to define requirements, create schematics, design printed circuit boards (PCBs), build and test prototypes, and support products through production. The team values individuals who are comfortable working hands-on and who are motivated to move projects forward with limited layers of process or oversight.
Because the company builds systems from the ground up, this position involves direct engagement with both high-level architecture and detailed implementation. The pace is fast and the scope of work is broad. Engineers who prefer narrowly defined roles, lengthy build cycles, or structured processes may not find this work environment to be a fit.
Key Responsibilities:
Compensation:
This is an on-site role located in El Segundo, California , with no remote or hybrid options . The salary range for this position is $120,000 - $200,000 per year.
