ABOUT FIRST RESONANCE
First Resonance accelerates the speed and reliability of hardware development for companies manufacturing the next generation of hardware products. This includes space exploration, electric airplanes, autonomous vehicles, nuclear reactors, robotics, and more. We are a group of software, hardware, and manufacturing engineers that are bringing the best of modern UX and data science to an industry that has been overly rigid in its innovation. We are removing the barriers preventing radical advancement by providing tools to manufacturing engineers and operators to move information more freely, collaborate with their teams more easily, and use the power of data to predict problems and provide insights that result in better hardware quality and delivery.
ABOUT THE ROLE
We're looking for a Technical Recruiter to own full-cycle hiring for our most critical technical roles. You'll be recruiting for Software Engineers, Product Managers, and Forward Deployed Engineers, with additional support across corporate functions (Sales, Finance, Operations) as we scale. This is a builder role — you'll work directly with hiring managers and senior leadership to shape how we find, evaluate, and close great people.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Own full-cycle recruiting for technical roles: sourcing, screening, coordinating, and closing
Partner with hiring managers to define role requirements, build scorecards, and calibrate on hiring bar
Proactively source candidates via LinkedIn Recruiter, GitHub, referrals, and community networks — you're not waiting for inbound
Run structured interview processes and lead calibration sessions with cross-functional teams
Manage and maintain ATS hygiene — pipeline health, conversion rates, and time-to-fill data
Represent First Resonance authentically to candidates, clearly communicating our mission, culture, and opportunity
Support hiring across corporate functions as capacity and business needs allow
Contribute to employer branding efforts: job descriptions, outreach templates, and interview guides
QUALIFICATIONS
3+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting experience, in-house or agency
Background in regulated or hard-tech industries (aerospace, defense, energy, manufacturing)
Demonstrated success hiring software engineers, product managers, and other technical profiles
Strong active sourcing skills — you build pipelines, not just manage inbound
Experience managing an ATS and using recruiting data to improve process
Clear, direct communicator; candidates remember their experience with you
Comfortable with ambiguity — this is a startup, and the playbook is still being written
NICE TO HAVE
Experience recruiting Forward Deployed Engineers or other customer-facing technical roles
Experience building recruiting infrastructure from scratch: scorecards, interview kits, calibration frameworks
Familiarity with technical assessment tools
BENEFITS & PERKS
Health Insurance; medical, vision, dental, & life insurance.
Paid Parental Leave.
Employee Stock Option Plan.
Team outings, group lunches, open office, happy hours.
Paid holidays, sick days.
Flexible Friday and PTO.
401K.
