Recruiter, Hardware

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Be an owner: hardware recruiting at Pi is yours to build. Build it like you want it. Own every search end to end, from mapping who has actually shipped robots, vehicles, drones and devices at volume to closing them…
• Be a hunter: know the hardware market cold. Know where the best engineers, manufacturing and supply chain people sit, what their titles actually mean (some of the best manufacturing minds at Apple are called TPMs), and…
• Play the long game: great hardware people rarely leave in the middle of a build. Know their product cycles, stay close for years if you have to, and be there when the window opens.
• Design interview processes: build loops with our hiring managers that test real work, like prototyping exercises and hands-on trials, and keep interviewers calibrated. Be creative.

• Be a partner, be a peer: recruiting at Pi is not a service org. Our hardware leaders are hands-on and stretched, so make their hiring time count, push back on scope and urgency, and keep searches moving while they’re…
• Be a builder: design bespoke closing strategies. Get candidates to Fremont, because nothing closes a hardware engineer like watching robots get built.
• Be a steward, be an ambassador: treat every candidate with care and respect. How someone feels after a rejection reflects on us. Take that seriously.
