Founding Electrical Engineer

$160k - $200k
Full-time

Solderable, Inc.

We're building an AI electrical engineer that can turn an idea into a working circuit board. That means teaching software to reason about circuits and make design decisions that hold up when the hardware is manufactured and powered on.

Our electrical and software engineers work side by side on real customer projects, from VR headsets to robotics. The challenges we solve on those boards shape the tools we're building to make hardware development faster.

You'll take full ownership of client projects and work closely with our software and ML team.

You'll get broad, hands-on EE reps across a wide mix of products: VR headsets, robotics, wearables, RF/NFC, power, and more. You'll help define what "10x faster hardware design" actually looks like in practice.

This is an in-person role in San Francisco. You must live here or relocate before starting.

What we're looking for

1-5 years building boards — You've shipped hardware to production and know what it takes
Experience with PCB design tools — Kicad, Altium, Cadence, LTSpice etc
Breadth over depth — You've touched high-speed digital, power electronics, antennas, BGA fanout, and aren't afraid of what you haven't done yet
Process skeptic — You question how things are done and actively look for ways to make design faster, cheaper, and more reliable
Love of making! — You hack on passion projects in your spare time

Nice to have

Experience using generative AI technologies like LLMs or AI agents
Experience with AI-assisted coding tools such as Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Claude, or Devin in software development

What you'll do

Own 2-4 client projects at a time, from requirements to manufacturing
Design across a wide range of applications: motor controllers, compute carriers, RF/antenna systems, battery management, high-speed interfaces
Work directly with customers to understand constraints and deliver solutions
Help us build internal tools and automation to 10x our output
Collaborate with layout specialists, firmware engineers, and manufacturing partners

Application Process

Quick interview to get to know you, and we'll give you a paid work-trial where you work with the team and deliver real value. If it goes well we will fly you over to our office in San Francisco to work with the team in person.
