Company Description

Elastium is an advanced manufacturing startup company transforming the legacy footwear industry toward rapid, fully automated, and localized production. Our manufacturing platform combines proprietary 3D printing technology, software, and materials science to make shoe production as effortless as pushing a button. We're building the most frictionless way of turning bits into useful atoms, sending ripples of singularity across the industry, and bringing tens of billions of GDP back to America.

Responsibilities

You'll fully own the nervous system of the most advanced FGF/FDM 3D printers on Earth, from PCBs to control packaging and harnessing. Your mission: build E/E systems that ruthlessly reduce complexity, are easy to assemble and support, and scale fast. Specifically, you will:

• Execute full PCB design cycle: requirements, schematic design, component selection, layout, bring-up, test, debug and integration.
• Develop electrical schematics, wiring interconnect diagrams and generate production specs for cables and harnesses.
• Lead the automation/DFM war on control packaging, from design through production, to reduce build time, wiring complexity, and manual assembly. Requires deep experience with traditional panel design and assembly process.
• Hunt down complex electrical/software issues using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and embedded debugging tools.
• Source electrical components including connectors, harnesses, sensors, power/distribution hardware.
• Collaborate closely with other engineers to ensure seamless system integration.

Qualifications

• BS in Electrical Engineering or equivalent.
• 5+ years of experience designing, testing, and shipping complex E/E systems (Robotics or Industrial Tech preferred).
• Proficiency with Altium Designer.
• Demonstrated ability to create electrical drawings and build or oversee the build of control panels.
• Familiarity with standard interfaces such as EtherCAT, Modbus, CAN, I2C, SPI, etc.
• Familiarity with common electromechanical components such as servo drives, linear motors, encoders, solenoids, RTDs, and their specific interfacing needs.
• You're high-agency operator with mission-critical discipline and accountability. You identify and neutralize threats before they escalate.

Why this job matters

At Elastium, you won’t be another engineer optimizing inside an existing box—you’ll build in the wild, architecting a new industrial era where factories run like software, starting with footwear. Footwear is an enormous challenge because it’s a massive, messy, labor-heavy industry that left the U.S. for a reason. Reinventing how footwear is made at scale requires the deployment of autonomous plants with thousands of robots that can be reconfigured in real time with no human in the loop. If you want to solve problems that fundamentally reshape the physical world, this is the mission.
