Who We Are
We are pioneering modular motion technologies to power the next generation of innovation for Industrial, Aerospace and Defense. If you're excited about disrupting legacy industries, and passionate about motor control technology, let's chat!
We are at the forefront of innovation, crafting exclusive motion control components that propel the industrial, aerospace, and defense sectors into the future.
A couple other things:
- We are open to relocating you
- We have great benefits
- We are well funded, and already generating revenue
- We are located in beautiful Torrance, CA and just moved into a new large hangar facility
What you'll do:
- Develop features and expand existing functionality by writing microcontroller low-level and application-specific firmware for our family of advanced motor controllers
- Quickly debug and troubleshoot issues that span several functional boundaries as you work alongside our team of dedicated hardware, software, and controls engineers
- Work closely with the electrical engineering team to review schematics and assist with component selection and board bring-up
- Concurrently contribute and manage involvement in multiple projects at various stages
- Drive the software development process by creating functional, safety, performance, and system requirements and design documentation
- Thoroughly test (unit/integration/functional/system) your firmware
What you need:
- BS or MS in CS/CE/EE or equivalent industry experience
- Strong C coding experience in embedded systems
- Experience in the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC)
- Experience integrating microcontrollers with analog and digital sensors
- Experience developing firmware in bare-metal and RTOS environments
- Debugging skills with JTAG, SWD, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers
- Solid experience with common bus protocols (e.g., CAN, I2C, SPI, USB, Ethernet, etc.)
Good to haves:
- Experience with developing products in a regulated industry
- Experience with one or more microcontroller cores (ARM, AVR, MSP430, PIC, etc.)
- Have a bias for action. If you see a problem, you want to solve and fix it
- Be naturally curious about the technologies and tools you use
What we have to offer:
We are not just building components. We are reshaping the future of the Aerospace and Defense component industry, which is a $300B+ market! Come join us and help build next generation systems that will make a massive impact at global scale.
- We offer competitive compensation + equity
- Exceptional healthcare benefits, Medical is 100% covered by the company
- Flexible PTO (No cap, no accrual)
- 401K
- More to come!

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
