Job description

About CircuitHub

CircuitHub is reshaping electronics manufacturing with The Grid, a factory-scale robotics platform that makes small-batch, high-mix electronics assembly radically more efficient. Think semiconductor-fab precision applied to the chaotic world of prototyping and low-volume production: a 10x throughput improvement in one of the world's most foundational industries. We've raised $45M from top-tier investors including Plural, Y Combinator and Google Ventures, and we're already profitable. Our customers include a major EV maker, a top AI lab and many of the worlds largest companies. The Grid isn't a prototype. It's live, scaling fast and delivering real revenue, and we're building the team that will scale it further.

What you'll do

Shape the customer experience. Upload, quoting, ordering and our board viewer on circuithub.com.
Make internal tools a pleasure. Our admin dashboard runs purchasing, planning, recruiting and the AI agents that do more and more of the work. Make dense, data-heavy screens clear and fast.
Design for the factory floor. Screens operators read at a glance while robots move around them.
Own the design system. Bring our brand, components and patterns together across web apps and machine screens.
Design for agents. Work out how people should review, steer and trust the work of AI agents.

What we look for

You've shipped full-featured web apps in TypeScript and React, and you can show us.
A real eye for design, both UI and UX. A portfolio we can look at matters more than a job title.
You enjoy owning a product end to end, from talking to users to deploying.
You use coding agents to move faster and take full ownership of what they produce.
Bonus: data visualisation, Elm or other functional languages, industrial or operator interfaces.

Stack

Web: TypeScript, React, TanStack (Start, Router, Query, Table), Tailwind, Radix, Bun

Why work at CircuitHub

Culture & Mission: The company is on a mission to "fix rapid electronics manufacturing," offering employees the chance to solve real-world problems in hardware and manufacturing. They describe themselves as a "dynamic bunch of exceptionally hard-working people."
Engineering Focus: The company is built around a modern tech stack, with open roles for Haskell Engineers, Full-Stack Robotics Engineers, Computer Vision Engineers, and Operations Research Engineers. This is an ideal environment for engineers who want to apply software skills to physical manufacturing.
Remote-First Policy: CircuitHub is a remote-first company with a global team. Roles are open in the US (Massachusetts and West Coast) and the UK (London). They support a mix of remote work and co-working spaces for local teams.
Benefits: Competitive compensation, comprehensive health benefits, stock options, flexible paid time-off (PTO), and growth opportunities.
Team: A small, rapidly growing global team of approximately 58 people (as per Y Combinator profile), offering a high-impact environment.

About CircuitHub

Company Overview

One-liner: CircuitHub provides on-demand, automated circuit board assembly and manufacturing, enabling hardware companies to prototype and produce small batches at speed.
Entity Type: Private (Venture-backed; Series A)
Headquarters: South Deerfield, Massachusetts, USA (with additional locations in London, UK)
Founded: 2012
Founders: Rehno Lindeque (CEO) and Andrew Seddon (CTO)

Core Business

Primary industry: Electronics Manufacturing / Hardware Manufacturing
Target customers: B2B, serving hardware companies in self-driving cars, satellites, 3D printing, robotics, aerospace (e.g., Tesla, NASA, Zipline), and other sectors requiring rapid prototyping and low-volume production.
Mission or purpose: "To fix rapid electronics manufacturing" and make it possible for hardware companies to design and iterate as fast as software companies.

Products & Services

The Grid (Automated Factory Platform): A proprietary, factory-scale robotics platform that delivers a 10x improvement in speed and cost for small-batch electronics production. This is the core technology that enables rapid, on-demand assembly.
Full Turnkey PCB Assembly: Offers assembly from 1 to 10,000 units. Users upload EDA files (Altium, EAGLE, KiCAD) and receive a real-time quote within five minutes. Standard lead time for full turnkey orders is 3 days.
Shared Parts Inventory: A shared inventory of 35,000+ common parts, reducing the need for customers to source and stock components. They also offer to stock custom parts for repeat customers.
Virtual Build & Board Viewer: A browser-based tool that previews the board and component placements before ordering, helping to catch errors early in the process.
Real-time KPIs: CircuitHub is the first in the industry to publish real-time manufacturing performance metrics, providing transparency on delivery times and quality.

Market Standing

Valuation / Funding: Total funding of $30.3M (as of latest reports). Key rounds include an $18M raise from Y Combinator and Google Ventures, and a more recent $28M raise (likely a Series A or extension) announced in 2025.
Key Metric: Annual revenue estimated at $5.2M (based on available data). More significantly, the company reports having shipped 87.4M+ boards and placed 1.57M+ parts, with over 20,000 engineers trusting the platform.
Notable Investors/Partners: Y Combinator (Winter 2012 batch), Google Ventures (GV).
Growth Signals: The company describes itself as the "fastest growing electronics manufacturer in the USA." They have announced a "10X capacity going into 2027," indicating aggressive scaling. Notable customers include Tesla, NASA, and Zipline.

Competitive Advantages

Speed & Automation: The core moat is their proprietary software and robotics platform ("The Grid") that automates the traditionally manual and slow process of PCB assembly, enabling 3-day standard lead times.
Transparent Pricing & Metrics: They offer real-time, instant quoting and publish live KPIs, which is highly unusual in the contract manufacturing industry and builds trust with engineering customers.
Shared Inventory Model: By stocking 35,000+ common parts, they solve a major pain point for hardware startups and engineers: the cost and delay of sourcing components for small runs.
Tech-First Culture: The company is built around a modern tech stack (software engineering, robotics, computer vision), which is a significant differentiator from traditional manufacturing firms.

Strategic Focus

Scaling Capacity: The company is aggressively scaling its manufacturing capacity (10x into 2027) to meet growing demand from robotics, aerospace, and automotive sectors.
Deepening Automation: Continues to invest in its software and robotics platform to further flatten the price curve for low-volume production and reduce lead times.
Expanding Customer Base: While serving large names like Tesla and NASA, the platform is designed for engineers of all sizes, from solo inventors to large R&D teams, suggesting a focus on broad market capture.
