Company mission

To empower businesses across industries to make high frequency, critical path decisions fully autonomous.

Role

Who you are

  • 5+ years of professional experience as an electrical engineer (design and/or test) working in industry – at a leading company in Aerospace, Automotive or Semiconductors
  • Ideally, you like to tinker and build things yourself, e.g., robotics, ham radios, RC cars/planes/drones. You’re familiar with hobbyist hardware, e.g., Raspberry Pi, Arduino, Nvidia Jetson
  • You’ve worked with standard EDA and simulation tools – Cadence, Synopsys, Ansys, and are familiar with SPICE, PDN and Verilog-AMS
  • You’re familiar with debugging and root causing EMI / EM parasitics
  • Genuine enthusiasm and interest to apply Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning to real-world applications
  • You are familiar with programming/scripting and have used it regularly in your work to date – e.g., Python, NI LabView, Matlab
  • You thrive in team environments, are a strong communicator and have demonstrated that you can collaborate well with others from different functions/ specialities
  • You are scrappy, and hands-on, and eager to build things from 0 to 1

What the job involves

  • You will play a mission-critical role in designing, building, and operationalizing a circuit testing lab from the ground up
  • From designing and implementing automated testing processes to creating, simulating, debugging, and testing circuits, you can define the future of EE at Arena
  • With your lead, we will define best practices, establish a quality bar, and set the foundation for massive growth
  • In close collaboration with our ML scientists, software engineers, and product teams, you will directly shape our product platform ATLAS for the electrical engineering domain
  • A truly unique role, at the intersection of hardware and software, in one of the most exciting fields and times to do it
  • Design, build & test circuits (PCBs)
  • You’ll work on prototype boards – scaled down versions of commercial PCBs for automotive, aerospace and personal computers
  • Build our EE test lab
  • Source and setup testing equipment, run maintenance, calibration tasks for oscilloscopes, DAQs, power sources, sensors, load simulators, digital communication interfaces
  • Design and build automatic test execution scripts / software and integrate into existing our ATLAS product platform using python, LabView, SCPI, etc
  • Design and execute experiments
  • Test, debug and root cause PCB failures using our EE test lab and standard tooling (see more on tooling in experience section below)
  • Expand our test labe to improve controls and measurement for common failure modes (e.g., environmental conditions, circuit characteristics, EMI / EMC)
  • Serve as the domain expert and primary collaborator with software engineering and ML teams working on building AI systems that understand EE
  • Travel domestically and internationally (up to 25% of your time)
  • Work in person at Arena's NYC headquarters when not traveling

Our take

Arena leverages performance data, predictive algorithms, and machine learning technology to help businesses automate high frequency decisions. In theory, the platform can be used to automate marketing strategies, promotions, inventory and supply chain management, pricing, and more.

Although AI automated decision-making may sound overly ambitious at first, a closer look suggests that it’s actually a natural progression from the huge growth of AI-powered data analytics companies. Arena separates itself from these by providing the next actionable step, rather than leaving these decisions up to internal teams.

The company’s “business decision autopilot” is used by a number of Fortune 500 businesses including multinational brewing company Anheuser-Busch InBev, so it must be doing something right. While it's shown stable and impressive growth since launching in 2020, a major 2022 fundraise led by Initialized Capital and Goldcrest Capital suggests an aggressive scale up is inevitable.
