people will love.

The appliances in our homes shape everyday life. We’re building them to be more helpful, more dependable and easier to keep for years to come.

Join us in building the future of home appliances.

Work that lives beyond the workshop

Your work becomes part of someone’s everyday.

A routine that needs less attention. A machine someone can depend on. A repair that keeps a useful product in their home.

These are the reasons to care about a better control, a more durable component or a part that is easier to reach. Decisions made here can make everyday life easier for years.

There is something satisfying about making things people can count on.

Experience to help us go further

Help shape the next generation of appliances.

We’re assembling a board of advisors with deep experience in appliance engineering, invention and production.

Their perspective will help us ask better questions, challenge design decisions and learn from what happens to machines in real homes.

We’re bringing that experience together with people who are ready to take on the next set of problems.

  • Appliance engineering
  • Invention & development
  • Reliability & service
  • Manufacturing

A chance to shape the product

The important decisions are still ahead.

Joining early means helping define the architecture, the standards we work to and the way we solve problems together.

Shape the starting point.

Help turn a clear ambition into a machine: its systems, interfaces, materials and the decisions that determine how it will age.

Follow the work through.

Carry ideas into prototypes, tests and production. See what holds up, understand what changes and bring those lessons back into the design.

Build across disciplines.

Connect mechanical systems, electronics, software and service. Work through the details between them, where many of the hardest problems live.

Problems worth working on

Bring your curiosity.
Put your experience to work.

We want to hear from people who have built complex products and care about what happens after they leave the factory.

Appliance experience matters. So does experience with the same challenges in other fields: heat, motion, wear, controls and dependable production.

Introduce yourself
  • Mechanical & systems

    Structures, motion, seals and the way a complete machine works together.

  • Thermal & airflow

    Moving heat and air effectively, with safety and everyday performance in mind.

  • Electronics & software

    Controls, sensing and useful automation that people can understand and depend on.

  • Reliability & testing

    Finding weaknesses, understanding failure and turning evidence into better decisions.

  • Manufacturing & service

    Making a design repeatable to produce and practical to maintain and repair.

How we want to work

Care about the details.
Understand the whole.

Good work needs curiosity, honest discussion and people who follow a problem through. These are the habits we want to build into the team from the beginning.

Make your reasoning visible.

Explain the choices, share what you know and make room for informed disagreement. A useful question can improve the work for everyone.

Let evidence change the design.

Test assumptions, investigate the unexpected and change direction when the results call for it. Follow the consequences through to the person using the machine.

Make knowledge useful.

Help create open-source firmware and clear service information that other people can understand, maintain and build upon.
