Pano AI - Hardware Engineer (Electrical Engineer)
Requirements
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or closely related engineering discipline • 5+ years of professional hardware engineering experience with ownership across multiple phases of the product development lifecycle • Strong EE fundamentals: datasheet analysis, electrical specification evaluation, and system-level reasoning about power, signal integrity, and thermal behavior • Demonstrated ability to debug and root-cause hardware issues at the system and integration level using standard lab equipment • Hands-on NPI experience—has taken hardware through multiple full EVT-to-PVT cycles • Clear written and verbal communication; able to write structured RCA reports and articulate risk to cross-functional stakeholders • Mechanical engineering experience/familiarity/willingness to learn (as a small startup, we all wear many hats) • Familiarity with reliability engineering concepts: derating, MTBF, environmental stress screening, HALT/HASS • Experience evaluating components for long-lifecycle or harsh-environment applications (industrial, outdoor, automotive, or similar) • Experience with cellular/LTE, Wi-Fi, or wireless module integration and RF-adjacent debugging • Exposure to camera systems, ISP pipelines, or vision hardware • Experience working with contract manufacturers and supporting production yield improvement • Experience writing automated test or validation scripts in Python (or equivalent) to verify hardware behavior and stress integration points • Final compensation for full-time employees is determined by a variety of factors, including job-related qualifications, education, experience, skills, knowledge, and geographic location. In addition to base salary, full-time roles are eligible for stock options. Our benefits package also includes comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, a matching 401(k) plan, and flexible paid time off.
Responsibilities
• Component Selection & System Integration • Select and evaluate off-the-shelf hardware modules (compute, cameras, radios, power management, sensors) against performance, reliability, environmental, and supply chain requirements • Analyze datasheets to understand component limits and failure modes; design integrations that respect those boundaries across power, thermal, signal, and mechanical interfaces • Bring up integrated assemblies, characterize behavior across operating conditions, and validate against system requirements • Validation, Stress Testing & Reliability • Author and execute test plans for NPI gate reviews (PROTO, EVT, DVT, PVT) covering functional verification, environmental performance, long-term reliability, and certification/compliance (FCC, safety, cellular) • Execute stress and margin tests to find the edges of reliable operation; the Pano Station must operate unattended for 5+ years in harsh outdoor environments • Debug, Triage & Root Cause Analysis • Lead hardware triage from first symptom to verified fix—across engineering builds, production runs, and field deployments • Use lab instrumentation (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power analyzers, thermal cameras, protocol analyzers) to isolate failure mechanisms at the signal and system level • Production Readiness & Sustaining • Define acceptance criteria and transfer test scripts and methodologies to contract manufacturers for production • Support ECOs for sustaining issues, component end-of-life transitions, and supply chain changes post-launch
