We are seeking a seasoned Electrical Engineer to join our team at unspun. In this role, you will design, develop, test, and deploy electronic assemblies and electrical systems for our revolutionary Vega™ 3D weaving technology. Your work will be crucial in refining, optimizing, and scaling the electrical components of our 3D weaving machines, with a strong focus on field deployment and reliability.

About unspun

unspun's mission is to reduce global carbon emissions by 1% by revolutionizing the way we make clothes. We envision a world where every garment is made on-demand, eliminating overproduction and reconnecting people with the clothing they wear.

We've recently secured Series B funding and are now scaling our proven Vega™ 3D weaving technology. Our focus is on transforming this innovative concept into a global manufacturing reality, and we need your expertise to make it happen.

About You

You're an experienced problem-solver with a passion for bringing innovative products to market. You thrive in a fast-paced, startup environment and are excited about the challenge of applying your electrical engineering skills to revolutionize the fashion industry. You're adaptable, detail-oriented, and eager to establish processes and structures in a growing startup.

What You'll Do

As our first Electrical Engineer, your core responsibility will be to refine, optimize, and deploy the electrical systems that power our Vega™ 3D weaving machines. You will work across multiple teams, with emphasis on firmware and mechanical engineering, to realize the world's first 3D woven products on the market. Your key responsibilities include:

  • Designing and developing electronic assemblies, including PCB design and sensor integration, ensuring functionality, testability, reliability, and compliance with industry standards
  • Developing and executing comprehensive test plans to improve machine reliability and reduce field failure rates
  • Refining and optimizing current designs for manufacturability, with a focus on size constraints and reliability
  • Establishing and documenting processes for electrical assembly design, manufacturing, and quality assurance as we scale production
  • Collaborating closely with firmware and mechanical engineers to ensure seamless integration of hardware and software
  • Conducting thorough testing, calibration, and failure analysis of electronic assemblies
  • Managing vendor relationships for component sourcing

Ideal Qualities

  • 5+ years of experience in electronic assembly design and testing, with a proven track record of deploying products in the field
  • Strong experience in PCB design principles and design for manufacturability (DFM)
  • Expertise in developing and executing comprehensive test plans
  • Knowledge of industrial machine electrical design, including experience with CAN, motors, and industrial power systems
  • Proficiency with wired and wireless communication, including test, analysis, and troubleshooting
  • Experience with size-constrained designs and optimization
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, with a knack for hands-on debugging and prototyping
  • Ability to establish processes and documentation in a startup environment

Bonus Points

  • Familiarity with wire harness design and ability to read wiring diagrams
  • Experience setting up electrical engineering labs/workshops
  • Knowledge of manual board bring-up processes
  • Understanding of sustainability practices in electronics design
  • Experience working with small to medium volume production (tens to hundreds of units)
  • Interest in fashion and apparel

We don't expect you to have all of the listed qualities. If you don't meet all the requirements but have a voracious passion for learning and are excited about our mission, we strongly encourage you to apply.
