Electrical Engineer

About us: iconic brand tiny company

Polaroid was founded in 1937 by one of the most seminal innovators of the 20th century Edwin Land. His motto was dont undertake a project unless it is manifestly important and nearly 2008 Polaroid shuttered its last factory but diehard fans came together as The Impossible Project to save the instant film. Over 10 years later that startup acquired what was left of Polaroid and today were again a small group of people passionate about empowering creators to change the world in the name of Polaroid.

Job summary:

Responsible for the electrical and hardware design of Polaroid instant film analog camera systems including schematics PCB layout guidance prototyping testing debugging validation and system integration.

You will collaborate closely with Product Management Industrial Design Marketing Product Development teams and external engineering partners to deliver reliable high-quality hardware solutions that meet cost schedule safety and regulatory requirements.
