About the role

Golden Gate Recruiting is partnering with American Turbines, a seed-stage hard tech company in San Francisco, to hire a Controls & Embedded Systems Engineer. Based in SF with weeks on-site during installation and commissioning, you will own the embedded control loop from test rig to deployed microturbines. You will design and implement firmware, select sensors, and refine control logic as the engine runs, collaborating with the test team for fast feedback and iteration.

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.
