End to end
Specification, schematic, board, firmware, enclosure, test rig, and the unit that leaves in a box. Most people here have touched all of it on at least one product.
Careers
Small company. Whole products.
We are ten people shipping four hundred machines a month. That ratio is the job description: nobody here owns a slice of something, because there are not enough of us for slices.
What the work is
You will finish things.
At a larger manufacturer an engineer owns a subsystem and hands it on. Here the person who specifies the output stage is usually the person who debugs it at three in the afternoon when the prototype misbehaves.
It ships or it does not
There is no staging environment for a cautery machine. What you design gets built, sold, and used in a room where it has to work.
Short distance to a decision
The person who can approve a component change sits in the same room. Most questions are answered the same day.
Honestly
Who this suits, and who it does not.
It suits you if
- You would rather be responsible for a whole product than expert in one layer of it
- You have built something physical and watched it fail, and enjoyed finding out why
- You are comfortable saying you do not know, in front of people, quickly
- Breadth appeals to you more than a title does
It does not if
- You want a deep bench of specialists to escalate to — on most days, you are the bench
- You need a defined ladder and a title that moves on a schedule
- You would find a bootstrapped company uncomfortable; we are funded by what we sell, and that is the whole runway
We would rather lose you at the first paragraph than in the third month.
Open roles
Nothing open at the moment.
We hire when the bench needs someone rather than on a schedule, and we would rather say so than keep a page of roles we are not filling.
Write anyway. Seats here tend to open because the right person turned up, so we would rather have your letter on file than not.
How to apply
Send us one thing you built.
A board, a rig, a piece of firmware, a repair nobody asked you to do. Tell us what it was for, what went wrong, and what you changed. That paragraph tells us more than a CV, and it is the part of the application we actually read first.
