Company

Mach Industries is a rapidly growing defense technology company developing autonomous defense platforms and a new non-defense consumer robotics program.

What you will do

• Design critical electrical subsystems from ideation through production, balancing performance, safety, and manufacturability.
• Develop validated hardware through schematic capture, PCB development, bring-up, and production support.
• Develop firmware for tightly integrated hardware platforms.
• Partner with mechanical, hardware, software, firmware, and controls engineers to build robust complete systems.
• Communicate technical risks and solutions clearly across functions.

Requirements

• Strong electrical engineering fundamentals and familiarity with state-of-the-art embedded electrical design.
• Hands-on experience turning ideas into hardware.
• Experience solving ambiguous, open-ended problems by creating workable designs.
• Curiosity about difficult problems and motivation to learn unfamiliar systems.
• Ability to influence cross-functional teams and communicate risks and solutions clearly.
• Authorization to work in the United States is required; offers may be conditioned on authorization to receive technology controlled under U.S. export control laws without export-license sponsorship.
