Technical Recruiter

This isn’t your typical recruiting role—it’s dynamic, immersive, and deeply rewarding. We’re building breakthrough technology that bridges multiple engineering disciplines: mechanical systems, hardware, AI, computer vision, process, design, production, and manufacturing. Every hire matters, and our standards are high—but they’re fair, clearly defined, and rooted in first principles.

We’re looking for a technically fluent recruiter who can engage confidently across domains—someone who can speak the language of engineers, understand how different disciplines intersect, and communicate the complexity and excitement of what we’re building. You’ll be embedded in the work: learning how our systems operate, and helping top engineering talent see the impact they can make here. We operate as one integrated team—collaboration, curiosity, and adaptability are key.

As a Technical Recruiter, you’ll drive full-cycle recruiting for our core technical teams—spanning mechanical and electrical design, AI/ML and modeling, materials development, and production/manufacturing engineering. You’ll partner closely with hiring managers and interviewers to execute high-quality searches, maintain strong candidate pipelines, and help build the multidisciplinary foundation of a company that’s redefining how things are made.

This role may be based out of Emeryville, California, or hybrid.

• 3–5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience across technical or engineering disciplines, ideally within a fast-paced, high-growth environment (startup experience preferred).
• A proven ability to engage and hire top engineering talent across multiple domains (mechanical, process, device design, software, AI/ML, or manufacturing).
• First-principles recruiting mindset — you question assumptions, dig into the “why” behind role needs, and design sourcing and evaluation strategies from the ground up rather than relying solely on precedent.
• Demonstrated success developing and executing sourcing strategies that attract and engage passive talent.
• Experience using applicant tracking systems such as Greenhouse, Lever, or Ashby.
• Strong closing skills—you drive the process end-to-end with persistence, judgment, and finesse.
• A high degree of judgment and ability to operate autonomously while knowing when to collaborate or escalate.
• A genuine curiosity for complex technology—you ask questions, dig in, and build fluency in what our teams are developing.
• A collaborative mindset—you thrive in a team-driven recruiting culture that values shared wins and open communication.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills with attention to tone, clarity, and detail.
• Strong multitasking skills—you can balance multiple searches while maintaining a high bar for quality and candidate experience.
• Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent practical experience).
• Availability to be on-site in Emeryville, 1-2 days a week, working side-by-side with engineers and hiring managers.
