Hardware Engineer

Actor is a deployment company. We build one model across every vertical of heavy machinery and deploy it for autonomy and safety.

Role:

You'll design, build, and maintain the electronics that go on our machines: the sensors, the onboard computer that reads them, and the wiring harnesses and mounts that hold it all together on equipment working in dust, vibration, and weather.

 What you'll do

 - Own electrical design end to end: schematics, PCB layout, BOM, bring-up, and revisions based on what breaks in the field.

 - Integrate cameras, LiDAR, radar, GNSS, and IMUs, and get them producing clean, time-synced data.

 - Connect to machine buses like CAN and J1939 to read vehicle state and send commands.

 - Bring up embedded Linux compute modules and make them boot reliably after power cuts, thermal swings, and months unattended.

 - Design harnesses and enclosures that pass vibration and ingress testing, and document them so a technician can install and replace them.

 What you need

 - You've shipped hardware that ran unattended in a harsh environment, and you can talk about what failed and how you fixed it.

 - Hands-on with common embedded interfaces (SPI, I2C, UART, Ethernet) and the tools to debug them.

 - Comfortable on an embedded Linux target and diagnosing problems from the command line.

 - Nice to have: experience with vehicle networking or industrial equipment.

 Compensation

• $175,000 to $250,000 base salary, plus equity.
