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 an electrical engineer to design and develop robust sensor and compute systems, optimize product manufacturing, and assist with build/manufacturing programs. Responsibilities include: • Collaborate cross-functionally with mechanical, firmware, and systems teams to define system-level requirements • Own end-to-end design of embedded controllers, including schematics, layout, and hardware validation • Perform root cause analysis and troubleshooting on electrical and system-level issues • Support in-field hardware deployments through remote diagnostics and failure analysis • Lead research and prototyping of new technologies Qualifications: • 3+ years of electronic hardware design experience • Experience working cross-functionally to define system architecture • Experience shipping high volume product (automotive and/or aerospace preferred) and working with contract manufacturers • Experience with board-level debugging, oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers, etc. • Working knowledge of embedded systems, including microcontrollers/processors, sensors, and communication protocols (I2C, SPI, Ethernet, etc.) Preferred Skills: • Experience managing hardware development through the full product lifecycle • Working knowledge of power electronics design and battery management systems • Experience working with and evaluating contract manufacturers • Familiarity with scripting or firmware for hardware test automation (e.g., Python, embedded C) • Experience with AC/DC conversion and 120V AC systems (preferred, not required) Design Tool Proficiency: • Altium Designer (required) • SPICE simulation tools (LTspice, QSpice, or equivalent) • Python (preferred for scripting, automation, or data analysis)
