Job description
At Coram AI, we’re reimagining video security for the modern world. Our cloud-native platform uses computer vision and AI to help businesses stay safe, make smarter decisions, and move faster; from real-time alerts to seamless clip sharing and multi-site visibility.
You’ll be joining an ambitious, fast-moving team that values clarity, craftsmanship, and impact. Every person here has a voice, ships meaningful work, and helps shape how AI can make the world safer and more connected.
Responsibilities:
- Support the design, development, and validation of electromechanical assemblies, learning to balance performance, manufacturability, and cost
- Contribute across the full product lifecycle, from early prototypes through EVT/DVT/PVT builds, vendor handoff, and field deployment
- Work alongside senior engineers to communicate with vendors and suppliers, helping keep parts on schedule and to spec
- Be a proactive self-starter: take initiative, act with urgency, and bring a scrappy, hands-on approach to problem solving in a fast-moving environment
- Take ownership of your work and help keep multiple workstreams moving forward
Qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree (completed or expected by [graduation date]) in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
- Hands-on hardware experience through internships, co-ops, university projects, or student teams such as Formula SAE or robotics
- Proficiency in CAD (Fusion 360, SolidWorks, or equivalent)
- Familiarity with DFM/DFA principles and manufacturing processes such as sheet metal and injection molding
- Understanding of thermal, vibration, and environmental design considerations from coursework or projects
- Curious, eager to learn, and resilient in a fast-paced environment
- Strong written and verbal communication skills in English
- Ability to work onsite. We move quicker when we're in the same room.
We're on a mission to transform a $50B+ legacy industry by bringing the power of cutting-edge multimodal LLMs and computer vision to real-world security and operations. From firearm detection to intelligent access control, our AI-native platform turns every camera and sensor into a smart system that enhances safety, efficiency, and awareness.
