Required

You have 2+ years of experience in management consulting, investment banking, internal operations, a business analyst role - or some other experience where you just had to figure out how to get stuff done

You are self-driven and relentlessly proactive. You don't need someone to tell you to 'move'. You just move. We'd rather have to tell you to slow down than to speed up

You don't wait on others to solve problems. You proactively step into the gap to offer solutions yourself

You don't have to be told what to do or how to do it - you're the first one to bring forward solutions and ideas, and then receptively take feedback on them and iterate with the team. You enjoy the idea of seeing your team as 'guardrails' to keep you on track, but not the engine pushing you forward. You are that engine!

You have an appetite to build clear frameworks to structure problems. Hardware startups are messy - bringing clarity and structured-thinking to the table is a huge asset

You lean into acknowledging your weaknesses and take the idea of feedback and growth seriously

You get energy from being a thought partner for others and it excites you to spend time translating operational problems into data problems, and to then going and executing on them

You enjoy working at a place where no one minds if you leave early one day to go to an appointment or run an errand, but you also don't mind responding to Slacks in the evening while you're watching Netflix

You have an appetite to build clear frameworks to structure problems

You have strong analytical aptitude. You intuitively think about problems in terms of numbers and data-models, and you are able to quickly execute analyses in Excel or other tools

You are comfortable communicating broadly and having a lot of eyes on your work. This role can at-times require comms to large groups and senior leadership. This should excite you!

Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export controlled information or facilities
