About the role

Clera in San Francisco, CA seeks a hands-on hardware engineer to own the hardware journey from concept to scalable production. You will lead board design, manufacturing readiness, and quality assurance to deliver a reliable device. You\'ll collaborate closely with the founding team to move prototypes into production, optimize power delivery and RF performance, and manage supplier and assembly processes for a consumer electronic product.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
