Senior Electrical Engineer

At Coram AI, we're reimagining video security for the modern world. Our cloud-native platform uses computer vision and AI to help businesses stay safe, make smarter decisions, and move faster; from real-time alerts to seamless clip sharing and multi-site visibility.

You'll be joining an ambitious, fast-moving team that values clarity, craftsmanship, and impact. Every person here has a voice, ships meaningful work, and helps shape how AI can make the world safer and more connected.

Responsibilities:

• Own board design end to end: architecture, component selection, schematic capture, PCB layout, and design reviews for edge-inferencing cameras, intercoms, door readers, and access control hardware
• Evaluate embedded chipsets, work from vendor reference designs and EVKs, and adapt them into production designs that meet our cost, power, and form-factor targets
• Own board bring-up and validation: power sequencing, signal integrity, sensor and peripheral bring-up, functional test development, and EMC/regulatory pre-compliance
• Own the embedded platform on your boards: BSP, bootloader, device trees, drivers, and the base image, so the hardware you design boots, streams, and updates in the field
• Design for the environments our products live in: PoE power budgets, surge and ESD protection, audio paths for intercoms, reader and controller interfaces (OSDP, Wiegand, RS-485), and thermal behavior inside sealed enclosures
• Own the full product lifecycle from prototype through EVT/DVT/PVT, vendor handoff, and field deployment
• Manage vendor and supplier relationships to ensure on-time, high-quality delivery
• Be a proactive self-starter: take initiative, act with urgency, and bring a scrappy, hands-on approach to problem solving in fast-moving environments

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field
• 5+ years of experience in hardware product development with at least one product shipped at volume
• Strong schematic capture and PCB layout proficiency (Altium or equivalent), including high-speed digital design: DDR/LPDDR, MIPI CSI-2, USB, Ethernet, and PoE
• Hands-on lab and bring-up skills: you're at home with a scope, logic analyzer, and a board that won't boot
• Working embedded software competence: C, embedded Linux (Yocto or Buildroot), U-Boot, device trees, and enough driver fluency to debug across the hardware/software boundary
• Proven DFM experience and a track record of working with contract manufacturers through NPI
• Resilient in challenging and fast-paced environments
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills in English, with the ability to influence at all levels
• Ability to work in an onsite environment - we move quicker when we're in the same room

What We Offer:

• Competitive compensation package (base salary + variable compensation)
• 100% Employer-paid medical, dental, vision, and base life insurance
• Flexible paid time off and 9 paid holidays
• 401(k) with both Traditional and Roth options
• Equity in a rapidly growing company
• Referral bonuses
• Daily team dinners and regular team off-sites to build connection and momentum
• The latest Apple tech and unlimited tools so you can win

We're on a mission to transform a $50B+ legacy industry by bringing the power of cutting-edge multimodal LLMs and computer vision to real-world security and operations. From firearm detection to intelligent access control, our AI-native platform turns every camera and sensor into a smart system that enhances safety, efficiency, and awareness.

Founded by Ashesh Jain (ex-Lyft Level 5, PhD Cornell) and Peter Ondruska (ex-Lyft, PhD Oxford), Coram AI is backed by Ansa Capital, Battery Ventures, Mosaic, 8VC and Up Partners, have raised over $65M, and were named to the CB Insights AI 100 as one of the most promising AI companies in the world. If you're excited to work on mission-critical AI that makes an impact in the real world, we'd love to meet you.
