Coram builds physical security hardware: cameras, door-access controllers, intercoms. Real boxes that get screwed to walls in schools and offices, with electronics and AI inside them.

The access-control line is already shipping and installed at customer sites. You inherit it, keep it healthy, and then build the next two product lines from concept to mass production: edge-enabled cameras and intercoms. We want both inside a year. The industry norm for a single hardware cycle is 9 to 12 months, so that target is deliberately aggressive.

You are the first dedicated hardware leader at the company. The engineer who built the access-control line has moved up to lead Product, so the function is yours to own and to build.

Design happens in Sunnyvale. Manufacturing sits with specialist contract manufacturing partners, who build, test and certify the finished product to our design.

That makes this job mostly engineering and part partnership management, across a long distance and several time zones. You will have a small design team here and a much larger group on the manufacturing side. Getting excellent product out of that arrangement is a craft, and it is the part of the role that matters most.

The shipping access-control line: quality, field performance, change control, ongoing cost.

Two new product lines end to end. Concept, design, EVT through PVT, certification, ramp, mass production.

The contract manufacturer relationship. You own it directly, including the design transfer package and everything in it.

Hands-on engineering. CAD and drawings, or schematics and board bring-up, depending on where you spike.

The processes the function runs on: stage gates, quality systems, supplier qualification, test protocols.

Two hardware engineering hires this year, and a team after that.
