Jiga (YC W21) is Recruiting: Product Engineer Remote/US

🛠️ About Us: Engineering the Future of Manufacturing

Jiga is dedicated to eliminating the bottlenecks of hardware development. We are constructing the trusted backbone for the production of the world's most critical components.

"The future is physical. Everything relies on custom parts that must be manufactured—and that is precisely where the current system fails."

While the world pushes toward localized manufacturing, the friction in custom production only increases. Jiga solves this by providing an end-to-end service model that removes supply chain hurdles from the moment of onboarding to final delivery.

Our Core Capabilities

We leverage a global network of vetted partners to ensure high-quality results every time.

1. CNC Machining Services

• CNC Milling: Multi-axis precision for complex geometries.
• CNC Turning: High-accuracy production for cylindrical parts.

2. Sheet Metal Services

• Bending: Consistent angles via custom brake-formed profiles.
• Cutting: Precise contours using laser and waterjet technology.

3. 3D Printing (Additive Manufacturing)

• FDM: Rapid thermoplastic prototypes.
• SLS: Complex nylon components (no supports needed).
• SLA: High-detail, ultra-smooth resin models.
• MJF: Production-grade parts with uniform properties.
• SLM: Full-density metal parts for structural integrity.

4. Injection Molding Services

• Plastic Injection Molding: Repeatable precision for high volumes.
• Overmolding: Soft-touch outer layers on rigid substrates.
• Insert Molding: Metal reinforcement encapsulated in plastic.

🌟 Why Jiga? (Our Culture)

We don't just talk about transparency; we live it. We aren't a typical corporate machine. We work differently.

1. Open Books: You will see the full picture: revenue, valuation, runway, and the sales pipeline.
2. Remote-First: We have been async since day one. However, we host one annual offsite in paradise for sailing, hiking, and co-working.
3. Outcome > Hours: We don't track time; we track performance.
4. Zero Busy-Work: Your calendar stays empty for deep work (coding, solving problems, talking to users). We only have a weekly all-hands and team sync.
5. Fanaticism for Quality: We don't settle for "good enough." We aim to create fans, not just users.
6. Rapid Decision Making: The person closest to the problem makes the call. No approval chains or committees.
7. Financial Strength: We are cashflow positive with revenue growing at a rate of $\approx 3x$ YoY.
8. Extreme Ownership: If it's broken, it's your duty to flag it or fix it.
9. Elite Talent: We prioritize production-ready results over theoretical debates.

The "Culture Recipe"

def jiga_culture():
    ownership = True
    trust = True
    theory = False
    
    if ownership and trust and not theory:
        return "High-velocity shipping"
