Company Background
Specter is creating a software-defined “control plane” for the physical world. We are starting with protecting American businesses by granting them ubiquitous perception over their physical assets.
To do so, we are creating a connected hardware-software ecosystem on top of multi-modal wireless mesh sensing technology. This allows us to drive down the cost and time of deploying sensors by 10x. Our platform will ultimately become the perception engine for a company’s physical footprint, enabling real-time perimeter visibility and autonomous operations management.
Our co-founders Xerxes and Philip are passionate about empowering our partners in the fast-approaching world of physical AI and robotics. We are a small, fast-growing team who hail from Anduril, Tesla, Uber, and the U.S. Special Forces.
Role + Responsibilities
- Specter is hiring a Manufacturing Engineer to bridge the gap between hardware engineering design and scalable production. You will work at the intersection of rapid prototyping, design for manufacturability, and field deployment readiness. This role is critical to ensure our hardware products can transition smoothly from the engineering bench to pilot production and ultimately to commercial-scale deployments.
- Potential responsibilities include:
- Collaborate closely with mechanical, electrical, and systems engineers to design products that are manufacturable, testable, and reliable
- Develop and implement DFM/DFA guidelines and provide feedback early in the design cycle to enable rapid build iterations and downstream scalability
- Design and document manufacturing processes, assembly instructions, and work instructions for prototype and pilot builds
- Specify, source, and deploy tools, fixtures, and assembly aids to enable fast, repeatable builds
- Own the build process for engineering prototypes, including planning, hands-on assembly support, and troubleshooting
- Work with supply chain and external manufacturing partners to ensure readiness for NPI builds and eventual ramp to commercial volumes
