Teams at Tacit

Own day-to-day finance and operations for an early-stage hardware startup: manage spend controls and Ramp, ensure accounting accuracy and reconciliations, maintain cap table in Pulley, own monthly forecasts and department budgets, negotiate vendor contracts and insurance, support board/investor questions, and lead cross-functional strategic modeling and diligence tasks.

Lead hardware scaling from late-stage engineering into high-volume manufacturing. Own NPI builds (EVT/DVT/PVT), factory readiness, SOPs, test station deployment, supplier management, BOM cost modeling, and yield/cycle-time optimization across global CMs to ensure on-time, low-defect ramps and predictable unit economics.

Hands-on RF hardware internship focused on characterizing RF signal chains and bringing up transceiver evaluation hardware. Work includes prototyping circuits, designing PCBs and test fixtures, using lab instruments (VNA, spectrum analyzer, signal generator), developing automated test setups with Python and embedded C/C++, analyzing measurement data, and producing validation procedures and engineering recommendations. Interns own focused projects and collaborate with RF and validation engineers onsite in San Francisco.
