Operations Research Engineer
About CircuitHub
CircuitHub is reshaping electronics manufacturing with The Grid, a factory-scale robotics platform designed to make small-batch, high-mix electronics assembly radically more efficient. Think semiconductor-fab levels of precision applied to the chaotic world of prototyping and low-volume production. The result? A 10x throughput improvement in one of the world's most foundational industries.
We've raised $20M from top-tier investors, including Y Combinator and Google Ventures, and we're already profitable. Our customers include industry leaders like Tesla, Meta, and Zipline.
The Grid isn't a prototype. It's live, scaling fast, and delivering real revenue. We're now building the engineering core that will scale it further.
