Responsibilities
Design, build, and own end-to-end hardware products for biological platforms, integrating mechanical, electrical, and firmware components. Responsibilities include rapid prototyping, testing, and ensuring the reliability of systems operating under real biological constraints.
Requirements
Requires a degree in engineering or equivalent experience with at least one year of industry experience building real hardware systems. Candidates must demonstrate depth in one core domain (mechanical, electrical, or firmware) and functional fluency across the others.
Full job description
About Becoming
Becoming is building Developmental Intelligence: AI for predicting how organisms change over time.
Most experimental systems fail when metabolic demands become too high. We are building systems that don’t — by combining engineered metabolic environments, sensing, control, and software into tightly integrated products that operate reliably over long time horizons.
Hardware is core to our platform. It must work continuously, predictably, and under real biological constraints.
The Role
We are hiring a Hardware Engineer (Product / Systems) to design, build, and own end-to-end hardware products at the core of Becoming’s platform.
This role is for a product-minded builder, not a siloed specialist. You will work across mechanical, electrical, and firmware, owning systems from first principles through prototyping, iteration, deployment, and operation. You may peak in one domain, but you must be fluent enough in the others to design and debug complete systems without handoffs.
This is a high-agency role. You will help define requirements, make tradeoffs, and take responsibility for outcomes.
What You’ll Own
End-to-end ownership of hardware systems used in long-horizon biological platforms
Mechanical design: CAD, materials, tolerances, assemblies, fluidic and environmental systems
Electrical design: sensing, actuation, power, control electronics, bring-up, and debugging
Firmware and low-level software for control, monitoring, fault handling, and reliability
Rapid prototyping, testing, failure analysis, and iteration
Integration of hardware with software, data systems, and biological constraints
Build processes and documentation that enable repeatability and scaling
Debugging real systems under continuous operation, not just bench tests
Who You Are
You are someone who:
Operates with high agency — you identify problems, define solutions, and execute
Takes end-to-end ownership of what you build
Brings high energy to complex, ambiguous engineering challenges
Acts with high integrity — you are honest about tradeoffs, risks, and failure modes
Communicates directly and clearly, especially when something won’t work
Is self-aware about your strengths and gaps, and proactively fills them
Thinks like a systems integrator, not a narrow specialist
Cares deeply about understanding systems at a first-principles level
Degree in engineering or equivalent practical experience
At least 1 year of industry experience building real hardware systems (startup, robotics, instrumentation, hardware, or related field)
Demonstrated first-principles depth in at least one core domain (mechanical, electrical, or firmware)
Functional fluency across the other domains sufficient to design, build, and debug complete systems
Proven ability to take loosely defined problems and turn them into working, reliable products
Comfort operating without pre-validated platforms, heavy vendor abstraction, or rigid process scaffolding
Strong Signals
Experience with fluidic, perfusion, or environmental control systems
Background in robotics, scientific instrumentation, or complex electromechanical products
Experience bringing hardware from prototype to deployed, continuously operating systems
Bias toward reliability, robustness, and simplicity over novelty
