Jobs at Specter

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.

Own end-to-end data labeling pipelines and vendor relationships, build annotation tooling and dataset browsers, define labeling taxonomies and QC standards, partner with researchers to design data collection strategies, monitor dataset metrics, integrate new data sources, and close the loop from labeled data to model improvement.

Lead full-cycle recruiting for engineering, GTM, operations, and future teams. Build sourcing engines, structured interview processes, scorecards, and recruiting operations (Ashby, sourcing tools, analytics). Improve hiring funnel metrics, manage candidate experience, and shape employer brand through job descriptions and candidate messaging.

Lead and run engineering-facing operations: manage hardware test sites, internal deployments, field sustainment, IT and lab infrastructure, inventory/asset tracking, test operations, vendor coordination, and translate field findings into prioritized feedback for engineering and product.

Build and own reproducible test infrastructure, CI for firmware/software, and fleet deploy/orchestration. Automate test benches, stand up rigs, create deploy tooling with rollback and visibility, and build internal automation and observability to keep the dev/test fleet healthy.

Build and scale Specter’s commercial operating infrastructure: enable pipeline visibility, forecasting, pricing, proposals, market analysis, dashboards, processes, and cross-functional feedback loops to make GTM motion repeatable and measurable.

Own and build the companys finance operating system: processes for spend, close, reporting, billing, vendor management, and financial hygiene. Partner on planning, forecasting, budgeting, cash visibility, and investor reporting. Increase visibility into production, R&D, SaaS, vendor, and operating spend. Create repeatable systems, work cross-functionally with engineering, supply chain, and GTM, and drive ambiguous projects to define scalable finance and operations practices for a growing hardware and software company.

The software engineer will design, deploy, and scale distributed systems for our sensing platform, focusing on reliability, performance, and cross-functional collaboration with hardware and application teams.

The role involves designing ML pipelines for computer vision, optimizing models for edge deployment, and developing data management systems for sensor datasets.

The ML Research Engineer will implement and deploy deep-learning models for perception AI, manage data pipelines, and design user interfaces.

The Embedded Software Engineer will design and maintain firmware for sensor nodes, integrate hardware modules, and improve system performance in real-world applications.

Lead the design and development of Specter's SDR architecture, managing RF system design from concept to deployment and collaborating across teams.

Specter seeks a Systems Software Engineer to develop low-latency networking and command control systems that connect embedded and cloud systems, focusing on efficient data handling for their hardware-software ecosystem.

The Manufacturing Engineer will manage the transition of hardware products from design to production, focusing on manufacturability, build processes, and quality systems, while collaborating with engineers and suppliers.

The electrical engineer will design and develop sensor systems, optimize manufacturing, troubleshoot issues, and support hardware deployments.
