Founding Systems Engineer

Ideal start date is ASAP - role will be closed once a suitable candidate is found

Hi!

My name is Sophia Millar. I’m the Co-Founder and CEO of Sonibel Instruments. We’re a hardtech startup with the mission of modernizing manufacturing so we can keep up with the world’s growing demand for urgent critical infrastructure, from skyscrapers to naval ships to grid expansions.

At Sonibel Instruments we work hard. You’ll get

• Autonomy and freedom. You pick your own projects, set your own goals, and work the hours you want
• Only important work. We’re a small team so there’s no busy work. You’ll be leading mission critical projects from the ground up
• Fast, hands-on work across functions. Every week comes with new problems, new skills, and real things to build
• Decisions based on data. Everyone at every level is trusted to make decisions and experiment
• Competitve compensation through salary and equity so you’ll own your work
• Leaders who own their mistakes, actively seek feedback to identify & solve them, and are pretty experienced. TL’DR: this isn’t my first startup; I was on the founding team of two successful startups before Sonibel. One went through Y-Combinator. Then I launched two of my own. My co-founders George and Hooman are both cracked engineers who invented Sonibel’s patented tech

In the past 10 months, we’ve

• Raised over $1.6M USD
• Invented and patented a first-of-its-kind system
• Landed our first major Fortune 100 customer
• Had inbound requests from the biggest manufacturers in the world wanting to use our tool including Caterpillar, John Deere, Exxon, Komatsu, L&T, and more
• Graduated from the Creative Destruction Lab
• And we just started growing the team past the 3 founders

We’re building the first ever complete real-time quality control system for welders. Our edge device is powered by acoustics: it listens to welds in real-time and alerts the welder...
