We’re not just building cutting-edge AI—we’re creating real-world impact and unforgettable experiences. Backed by a well-funded Series B, we’re also one of the rare AI startups that’s already profitable.
Our secret? A culture of extreme ownership, autonomy, and customer obsession. At Mashgin, we are building something extraordinary by challenging conventional wisdom. We’ve thrown out the old rules to focus on what truly matters: creating a kickass product that makes people say, 'Wow'. We don’t care about short-term wins; we build systems that stand the test of time. If you thrive in a culture of excellence without compromise and want to see your work have an immediate, remarkable impact, you’re in the right place.
Position Summary As an Electrical Engineer at Mashgin, you will be a primary driver of our hardware evolution. You will be expected to pivot quickly as project requirements evolve, tackling complex technical hurdles with a sense of urgency and a "fail fast, learn faster" mentality. While your technical chops in hardware design are paramount, your success will be defined by your ability to navigate ambiguity and deliver high-quality engineering solutions under aggressive timelines. This role demands a high degree of "vocal engineering". We are looking for a candidate who will frequently wear a Program Manager hat, is comfortable speaking up, and can effectively communicate technical risks to non-technical stakeholders, create timelines and milestones, drive those timelines and milestones. This is an opportunity for an engineer who thrives on ownership and wants to blend technical execution with the strategic oversight necessary to scale a product from prototype to market.
This is a hybrid remote role where you'd be required to be onsite in San Jose, CA at least 2 times a week.
Impact: You will own significant responsibility and have total ownership over your work. We stay lean and efficient, so your work directly impacts the product we ship every day.
Simplicity: Complexity is a waste of time here—we take pride in building things that just work.
Hard Work: Forget the glamorous research papers. We prioritize the hard work it takes to achieve real-world clarity and accuracy. You will innovate relentlessly to push the boundaries of what’s possible in visual automation.
Humility: No task is beneath you. Whether it's high-level architecture or grunt work to fix a bug, we check our egos at the door and get real work done.
Ruthless Prioritization: If everything is on fire, nothing is. You will be expected to prioritize ruthlessly, cutting through distractions to focus on the most impactful product improvements.
Customer Innovation: We are customer-centric, not customer-pleasing. You won’t bend to every client demand; you will let innovation drive the product forward to solve the real problems our users face.
