At Coram AI, we reward impact. We offer competitive pay, meaningful equity, and benefits that support your growth and well-being. When our team succeeds, our mission succeeds.

At Coram AI, we’re reimagining video security for the modern world. Our cloud-native platform uses computer vision and AI to help businesses stay safe, make smarter decisions, and move faster; from real-time alerts to seamless clip sharing and multi-site visibility.

You’ll be joining a small, fast-moving team that values clarity, craftsmanship, and impact. Every person here has a voice, ships meaningful work, and helps shape how AI can make the world safer and more connected.

The role:
As a Design Engineer at Coram AI, you’ll own the mechanical and electromechanical design of our next-generation security and edge-AI systems. You’ll bridge industrial design, manufacturing, and field deployment: building products that integrate compute, power, and connectivity in rugged, real-world environments. You’ll take ideas from concept through production, shaping how our hardware scales globally.

Responsibilities:

  • Lead the design, development, and validation of electromechanical assemblies balancing performance, manufacturability, and cost

  • Own the full product lifecycle from prototype through EVT/DVT/PVT, vendor handoff, and field deployment

  • Manage vendor and supplier relationships to ensure on-time, high-quality delivery

  • Be a proactive self-starter: take initiative, act with urgency, and bring a scrappy, hands-on approach to problem solving in fast-moving environments

  • Drive execution across multiple workstreams with urgency and accountability

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field

  • 2–5 years of experience in electromechanical or hardware product development

  • Strong CAD proficiency (Fusion 360, SolidWorks, or equivalent)

  • Proven DFM/DFA experience and understanding of manufacturing techniques for sheet metal and injection molding

  • Working knowledge of thermal, vibration, and environmental design considerations

  • Resilient in challenging and fast-paced environments

  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills in English, with the ability to influence at all levels

  • Ability to work in an onsite environment - we move quicker when we're in the same room

Nice-to-haves:

  • Chinese proficiency and experience leading vendor engagement or manufacturing with partners in Taiwan and China

  • Strong hands-on prototyping instincts with the ability to translate ideas into physical proofs of concept and iterate fast

  • Ability to take projects from half-baked idea to working hardware without waiting for direction

  • Curiosity and personal drive to learn new fabrication methods, materials, and processes to expand your range as an engineer

What we offer:

  • Competitive compensation package (base salary + variable compensation)

  • !00% Employer-paid medical, dental, vision, and base life insurance

  • Flexible paid time off and 9 paid holidays

  • 401(k) with both Traditional and Roth options

  • Equity in a rapidly growing company

  • Referral bonuses

  • Daily team dinners and regular team off-sites to build connection and momentum

  • The latest Apple tech and unlimited tools so you can win
