We are looking for someone who has personally designed real PCBs and taken them through fabrication, assembly, bring-up, and test.\u0026amp;nbsp;Your work will not stop at the board boundary. GITAI’s hardware is tightly integrated across electrical, mechanical, firmware, software, and system-level constraints.

You will work with firmware and software engineers on interfaces, bring-up, debugging, telemetry, fault handling, and test coverage.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;You do not need to come from the space industry. Strong PCB designers from robotics, automotive, medical devices, industrial equipment, drones, defense, consumer hardware, or other hardware fields are welcome.

What matters first is strong board-level design judgment and the ability to make hardware work inside a real system.\u0026amp;nbsp;GITAI is an early-stage hardware startup. Requirements will change, interfaces will move, and the clean answer on paper will often fail in integration.
