As a Senior Project Engineer, you will plan and lead projects in addition to your technical contributions. The ideal candidates are well-rounded team players who thrive in an entrepreneurial and dynamic environment - we regularly shift gears between ideation, theoretical analysis, detailed design (e.g., CAD), prototyping/building, testing, debugging, and, crucially, communicating that work with our clients. Ideal candidates also share our passion for creativity and technology and commitment to high-quality work.
