Working at Tangent

Tangent is a technology development think-tank. Our people have a deep knowledge of their field, and wide-ranging interests that intersect with other disciplines. While we may not have a new position posted, we are always on the lookout for like-minded people – the best in each discipline with a desire to explore, create and develop new technologies.

Positions with Tangent are not for those looking to coast gently into retirement. We move quickly, work hard to develop and test our ideas, and are merciless in critiquing and refining our work. If you've tried working for others and have been frustrated with the pace, lack of action, autonomy, or innovation, you might be a good fit here. Send us an email, and let's talk.

You will work on challenging projects and will be directly responsible for their success. We work in small, self-managed, interdisciplinary teams that are hand-picked for each project. You'll work with other experts, directing and leading projects from concept, through manufacture, to the unboxing experience after purchase.

You are great at what you do and can't see yourself doing anything else but design world changing products. You'll have resources and power to execute engineering excellence.

Excited about working us but don't see a position below that is a direct fit? We are always interested in discussing contract or contract-to-hire positions in the following areas (2 - 6 years of experience preferred):

  • Firmware & Embedded Engineers
  • Software Engineers
  • Mechanical Engineers
  • Electrical Engineers
  • Process Engineers
  • Product & Industrial Designers
