Job Description

About the Role

\n

As a key member of the Hardware team, you will be responsible for manufacturing and deploying the hardware technologies that power our Computer Vision and Machine Learning (CV/ML) platform. These systems include camera and computer vision solutions, edge and embedded computing devices, IoT sensors, and automated access control systems that operate in real-world environments.

You will work closely with Hardware Engineering and Technical Operations teams to support the in-house production and deployment of approximately 100 hardware systems per month. Success in this position requires adaptability, attention to detail, strong organizational skills, and a commitment to manufacturing excellence.

\n

If you enjoy building and testing hardware that directly impacts customers in the field, we'd love to hear from you.
