  • Deliver a thoughtful, high-quality candidate experience throughout the sourcing and hiring process. 
  • Stay ahead of talent trends and emerging sourcing tools and platforms across both software and hardware AI talent markets.

  • Strong understanding of hardware and AI-adjacent technical roles, terminology, and stacks (e.g., silicon/chip design, embedded systems, ML infrastructure) beyond traditional software engineering. 
  • Proven track record building high-quality pipelines, engaging hard-to-reach passive candidates, and supporting closures of top-tier technical talent. 
  • Hands-on experience with sourcing tools such as LinkedIn Recruiter, Gem, or Greenhouse CRM 
  • Experience sourcing across a breadth of functions, including R&D (software and hardware AI) and G&A (finance, legal, people, operations).

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 07/31/2029

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
