Trace builds AI-powered sports cameras that automatically film and edit video highlights for every player on the field. Over 10,000+ cameras deployed worldwide, capturing millions of highlights each season for players, coaches, and families.
This year alone we need to more than double production of our current camera and bring up US manufacturing all while developing new hardware for other verticals. This is an exciting range of challenges to get to a new scale of HW and that's what you'll be driving.
We’re a lean, fast-moving engineering team tackling the full stack of challenges — from optics to embedded systems to cloud infrastructure — to deliver reliable, production-scale hardware that just works in the field. At Trace, we value initiative over hierarchy and ownership over narrow roles
. Engineers here are trusted to identify problems, chase them down, and deliver solutions end-to-end.
If you’re excited by the idea of building and sustaining real hardware used every day in the real world — and you want to work in a culture that rewards autonomy, agency, and curiosity — this role is for you.
