Electronics Engineer (Entry-Level) - Embedded AI Startup

Location: El Paso, TX (On-site)
Type: Part-time (20 hrs/week), with path to full-time
Pay: $15-20/hour
Level: Entry-level / New Graduate / Student


About Geedop

We're building autonomous Mission Control for the manufacturing floor.

AlphaTower is an ML-driven platform that orchestrates industrial traffic - detecting forklifts, AGVs, tuggers, pallet jacks, humanoid robots, anything we train it to see. Real-time, on-device intelligence with instant audiovisual signaling. No cloud. No latency.

Our customers include GM, Lear, Saint-Gobain, Polaris, and Littelfuse. We're a small startup with 14 years of experience, shipping real products that protect real workers.


Why This Role Exists

We're looking for someone who wants to build things that matter.

What we offer:

  • Ownership of real products from day one
  • Your work ships to Fortune 500 factories
  • Full-stack hardware exposure: PCB design, SMT assembly, embedded systems, computer vision
  • Work directly with the founder - no layers, no bureaucracy

If being employee #20 matters more to you than being employee #2,000, keep reading.


What You'll Work On

AlphaTower is a multi-device ecosystem:

  • Vision 1/1M: AI cameras with on-device ML inference (8MP sensors, USB-C PD, DMX/WiFi)
  • Sigilight: 8,600-lumen LED floor projection system
  • Display 1: 256-pixel LED matrix for real-time feedback
  • Sound 1: Industrial audio alert system

You'll be hands-on with:

PCB Assembly & Testing

  • SMT soldering using our lead-free station with stencil frames
  • Board bring-up and functional validation
  • ESD-safe component handling and storage

Electronics Validation

  • Testing with professional equipment: Rigol oscilloscope (DS1104, 100MHz), digital multimeter (DM3058E), DC power supply (DP832), and function generator (DG821)
  • Debugging communication protocols: I2C, SPI, UART, USB, DMX
  • Validating power delivery circuits (USB-C PD at 5V-20V)

Product Development

  • Prototyping on breadboards before PCB fabrication
  • Participating in PCB design reviews
  • Documenting test procedures and results
  • Field deployments and troubleshooting


Requirements

  • Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, or related field
  • Hands-on soldering experience (through-hole and SMT)
  • Familiarity with basic test equipment (oscilloscopes, multimeters)
  • Understanding of common protocols (I2C, SPI, UART)
  • Ability to read schematics and datasheets


Mindset (This Matters More Than Your GPA)

  • You build things outside of class - personal projects, robotics, electronics
  • You teach yourself from datasheets, YouTube, and trial-and-error
  • You don't wait to be told what to do - you see what needs doing and do it
  • You're comfortable asking "dumb questions" and comfortable when no one has the answer
  • You want to learn fast, not climb a corporate ladder slowly
  • You'd rather own something real than have a prestigious title


Nice to Have

  • PCB design experience (KiCad, Altium, Eagle)
  • Embedded programming (C, Python, Arduino)
  • Experience with computer vision or ML concepts
  • Familiarity with DMX protocol or stage lighting systems
  • IPC soldering certification


What We Offer

  • Part-time flexibility (20 hrs/week) - works around class schedules
  • Path to full-time based on performance and mutual fit
  • Direct access to the founder - you'll learn how a hardware startup actually works
  • Your name on products deployed at major manufacturers
  • Experience you can't get anywhere else
  • PTO


The Team

We're a small team. There's no engineering department, no tech lead, no one to assign you tickets. You'll work directly with the founder/president who designed these products.

This means:

  • Direct access to the decision-maker
  • Your ideas can ship immediately
  • You need to be self-directed
  • You'll learn by doing, asking questions, and figuring things out

If you want a comfortable job at a big company, look elsewhere. If you want to compress 5 years of experience into 1 at a place where your work actually ships - let's talk.


To Apply

Send us:

  • Your resume
  • A link to something you've built (GitHub, portfolio, video of a project - anything)
  • One paragraph on why you want to work at a startup instead of a big company

We review every application personally.
