The Problem

• Perform physical bring-up and QA evaluations on early-stage engineering designs to diagnose hardware malfunctions and optimize performance.
• Utilize spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, and multimeters to execute power profiling, signal verification, and system tuning.
• Operate additive manufacturing technologies to build mechanical components and iterate on pre-production physical prototypes.
• Manage firmware deployments and software release installations across physical testing hardware in the R&D lab environment.
• Document comprehensive technical SOPs, diagnostic guides, and test records to support expanding lab infrastructure as operations scale., * This isn’t a traditional manufacturing assembly-line position, you will work directly on early-stage, experimental hardware prototypes in an R&D environment.
• This is not a desk-bound design job, you will spend your time in the hardware lab working with physical PCBs, bench instruments, and mechanical fabrication tools.
• This isn’t a static maintenance role, you’ll actively feed technical feedback back to engineering teams to refine mechanical, electrical, and software designs.

• Practical experience in technical engineering or prototyping environments, supporting early-stage hardware development and assembly systems.
• Demonstrated capability in hardware fabrication, including advanced soldering, wire harness termination, and PCB-level prototyping.
• Technical proficiency operating lab instrumentation such as spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, and multimeters for power profiling and signal analysis.
• Ability to interpret complex electrical schematics, mechanical drawings, and engineering documentation.
• Capability to write or modify Linux and Python scripts to drive technical automation, instrument control, and data acquisition.
• Experience with additive manufacturing tools, CAD design tools, or 3D printing workflows is a plus.

• $60K - $80K * Offers Equity, In this role, you’ll receive a starting salary between $60,000 and $80,000 as well as Flock Stock Options. Base salary is determined by job-related experience, education/training, as well as market indicators. Your recruiter will discuss this in depth with you during our first chat.

Every community deserves to be safe. Flock builds the technology that makes that real: last year we supported over 1 million criminal investigations and helped locate more than 10,000 missing people. We’re 1,700 people building the impossible with over $1B in funding, and the expectations are high on purpose. If you want a role where the stakes are real and the pace matches, this is it.

Some problems get solved faster in the same room, so we prioritize candidates in Atlanta and Boston. Hub-based roles mean real in-person time with your coworkers. Remote roles exist, and when a posting is open to remote work, it says so.

Building the impossible takes every kind of mind. Flock is an equal opportunity employer, and we know the best solutions come from diverse perspectives, experiences, and skills working together with mutual respect. Everyone is welcome to apply.
