Hardware Engineering Manager

At least five years in production mechanical or electrical engineering. Spike in one of them. We have no preference which.

You have personally shipped a product through an external contract manufacturer at volume. Not worked at a company that did it. You did it, and you can talk in detail about the partner, the product and the numbers involved.

You owned that factory relationship yourself , rather than handing your design to a TPM or a manufacturing engineer at the transfer point.

You have owned a full design transfer package : CAD, BOM, assembly instructions, test procedures, quality criteria, drawings.

You have taken products through certification. FCC at minimum. CE and UL are relevant to what we build.

You have shipped fast under constraint , and can talk about what you chose to cut to hit a date, and about a timeline that slipped and what you changed afterwards.

You have built a process that outlived you. A quality system, a stage gate, change control, supplier qualification. Ideally because you saw a gap and nobody asked you to.

You have grown engineers , and can point at specific people and where they are now.

Low-voltage connected devices: drones, wearables, body cameras, security cameras, smart home. Anything where a partner delivered you a finished, boxed unit rather than parts you assembled in-house.

At a large company, ownership of a whole product rather than one component. Platform design engineering, or the equivalent.

Edge compute, imaging sensors or DSP experience.

We're on a mission to transform a $50B+ legacy industry by bringing the power of cutting-edge multimodal LLMs and computer vision to real-world security and operations. From firearm detection to intelligent access control, our AI-native platform turns every camera and sensor into a smart system that enhances safety, efficiency, and awareness.

Founded by Ashesh Jain (ex-Lyft Level 5, PhD Cornell) and Peter Ondruska (ex-Lyft, PhD Oxford), Coram AI is backed by Ansa Capital, Battery Ventures, Mosaic, 8VC and Up Partners, have raised over $65M, and were named to the CB Insights AI 100 as one of the most promising AI companies in the world. If you're excited to work on mission-critical AI that makes an impact in the real world, we’d love to meet you.
