Partner cross-functionally with hardware, software, and mechanical engineering teams to build custom test suites for complex designs.
Engage in end-to-end system enablement, progressing from prototype bring-up to large-scale AI datacenter deployments.
Help shape our startup culture—take ownership, challenge existing paradigms, and contribute directly to the future of our tech stack.
Qualifications:
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering or a related field
Proficiency in Python, C
Solid understanding of systems software, including embedded systems and distributed systems
Familiarity with schematics/component datasheets
