OpenAI - Hardware Exploratory

• Design, prototype, and validate mechanical and electrical subsystems from early development through mass production. • Collaborate closely with design, operations, and manufacturing teams to ensure quality, reliability, and scalability. • Drive DFM/DFA reviews, design iterations, and bring-up of prototype and pilot builds. • Debug complex system-level issues and lead root-cause investigations and resolutions. • Partner with global suppliers and cross-functional teams to ensure flawless execution from concept to launch. • Have 6+ years of experience in consumer hardware, consumer electronics, or advanced product development. • Bring deep technical fluency in mechanical, electrical, or systems engineering (cross-disciplinary experience a plus). • Have taken at least one consumer product from concept to mass production. • Are energized by hands-on problem solving, iteration, and building in fast-paced environments. • Value collaboration, craftsmanship, and user experience — and are excited to help shape how people interact with AI. • OpenAI is an AI research and deployment company dedicated to ensuring that general-purpose artificial intelligence benefits all of humanity. We push the boundaries of the capabilities of AI systems and seek to safely deploy them to the world through our products. AI is an extremely powerful tool that must be created with safety and human needs at its core, and to achieve our mission, we must encompass and value the many different perspectives, voices, and experiences that form the full spectrum of humanity.
