Specter

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 a Manufacturing Technician to help assemble, test, and prepare our sensor and compute hardware for deployment in the field. You’ll work hands‑on with circuit boards, power systems, and enclosures - supporting both rapid prototyping and pilot production. This role is critical to ensure our hardware is built correctly, repeatably, and ready for scaling into the field. Potential Responsibilities Include: Assemble and test computer, electronic, and sensor hardware, including circuit boards, cables, and enclosures Follow and help improve build instructions, wiring diagrams, and test checklists Perform basic soldering, crimping, and connector assembly Use diagnostic tools (multimeter, oscilloscope, power supply) to verify system function Identify and resolve assembly or component issues in collaboration with engineers Track parts, builds, and materials using internal inventory systems Support prototype and pilot builds alongside mechanical and electrical engineers Maintain a clean, organized, and safe workspace Occasionally assist with deployment prep and on‑site assembly or troubleshooting Receive and label incoming parts and inventory Qualifications 1–3 years of experience in electronics, computer hardware, or electro‑mechanical assembly Comfortable with tools like screwdrivers, torque drivers, soldering irons, crimpers, and test meters Familiar with reading wiring diagrams or basic electrical schematics Detail‑oriented and process‑driven, with a focus on build quality and repeatability Strong hands‑on troubleshooting and problem‑solving skills Comfortable working in a fast‑paced, high‑iteration environment Bonus: experience with PCBA rework, cable harnesses, or ruggedized hardware assemblies #J-18808-Ljbffr Specter
