Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in San Francisco Bay Area, CA

Design and validate antennas and RF front-ends from simulation to production: EM simulation, PCB RF schematic/layout, RF measurements (VNA, S‑parameters, radiation patterns), multi-radio coexistence, production qualification, and documentation.

Build, maintain, and standardize the engineering lab and outdoor test sites: install and weatherproof field units, fabricate prototypes, run networking and power infrastructure, assemble and migrate server racks/HIL systems, document equipment and processes, and lead technicians to ensure repeatable, reliable lab operations.

Design and execute hardware validation test plans, build fixtures, automate test campaigns in Python on Linux, run ALT/HALT and environmental stress tests, perform root-cause analysis across mechanical, electrical, and firmware domains, and support EVT/DVT/PVT builds and reliability testing.

Lead and build the hardware test function: define and run DVT, certification, reliability, abuse, EMC, HALT and lifetime tests; automate and systematize qualification; manage labs and vendors; perform RCA and feed lessons into design; hire and mentor test engineers.

Lead global sourcing for electronics—PCBA, harnesses, silicon and memory. Develop sourcing strategies, negotiate contracts, secure supply, manage suppliers, mitigate risk, support NPI, and drive cost and process improvements across cross-functional teams.

Build and scale full-stack web applications and APIs to visualize live sensor and video data. Design low-latency PostgreSQL schemas, implement real-time updates, secure auth/role-based access, and deploy containerized apps. Collaborate across edge-cloud systems and own end-to-end features from schema to front-end polish.

Full-cycle enterprise salesperson responsible for outbound pipeline generation, technical demos, pilot scoping, and closing deployments of Specter’s hardware+software video sensor systems. Engage executive and technical stakeholders, run pilot-to-scale conversions, maintain CRM and forecasts, provide product feedback, and travel regularly to customer sites.

Own reliability for a live fleet of Linux-based edge sensors and cloud infrastructure. Triage and recover field hardware, perform SSH-based diagnostics, build fleet management and OTA systems, implement observability and alerting, automate operational tasks, develop runbooks, and participate in on-call rotations to prevent and resolve incidents.

Design and build automated test fixtures and software (Python, Rust/C) for qualification and production. Drive design-for-testability, perform cross-domain debugging (mechanical, electrical, software), run reliability/qualification rigs, and own failure analysis and production testing to ensure units meet specs.

Design and optimize end-to-end wireless systems for long-range and multi-radio deployments. Build models, simulations, and automated planning tools; collaborate with RF, firmware, and software teams; lead field validation, interoperability testing, and deployment tuning for large-scale sensor networks.
