Instrumental technology is used by the world's most admired electronics brands, such as NVIDIA, Cisco, and Meta, to accelerate new product development and improve production yields. Our technology leverages AI to process data generated on the manufacturing floor, automating failure identification and resolution, improving yield, quality, and time-to-market. In the past few quarters, our technology has become mission-critical for AI server manufacturers. We're rapidly growing our global presence to enable deeper integrations into our customers' complex manufacturing environments.
As a Solutions Design Engineer, you will work with Instrumental's rapidly growing go-to-market team to deliver technical solutions for various applications across leading electronics brands. This is a unique role that will leverage your hardware engineering background, technical curiosity, and interpersonal skills to directly influence how our customers build their products and help Instrumental scale.

You will additionally be a key player in ensuring that our solutions not only meet immediate technical requirements but align seamlessly with customer business goals. Our team doesn't wait for things to happen, we make them happen. Successful team members are problem solvers and adaptable - when it's not in the playbook, they create the next play. When there is no playbook, they start one. Most of our go-to-market team is comprised of experienced engineers who understand how much time and manual effort goes into manufacturing - and have come to the business to increase their impact on our industry.
