Our team moves fast, works together across disciplines, and takes pride in building things that actually ship.
Job Summary
We’re looking for an experienced electronics engineer to own the hardware for Polaroid’s next generation of cameras and creative tools. You’ll take designs from concept to mass production, guiding architecture, validation, and factory builds with a small, high-skilled senior team.

What you have done:
Shipped at least two consumer electronics products to high-volume production.
Designed both analog and digital circuits, from power to high-speed interfaces.
Worked confidently in Altium and led multi-layer layout reviews.
Debugged complex hardware using scopes, logic analyzers, and test fixtures.
Supported factory builds in Asia and understand how NPI actually works.
Nice to have:
Experience with BLE, Wi-Fi, USB-C, or Power Delivery.
