Why Flux

Flux is taking the hard out of hardware, by developing the first AI Hardware Engineer. Our goal is to democratize the ability to create bleeding edge hardware, and revolutionize how electronics are designed and built around the world.

About the role

Flux is building the future of hardware design and scaling at a pace never before seen in the hardware space. We’re looking for a Business Operations Manager to help build the operational backbone of a hypergrowth company.

This is a high-ownership, high-intensity role for an MBA-type operator who wants real responsibility early and thrives in fast-moving environments.

What you’ll do

  • Own day-to-day business operations across finance, hiring, vendors, and internal systems

  • Build lightweight models for forecasting, budgeting, and KPIs

  • Drive cross-functional projects end to end and unblock teams quickly

  • Operate AI-first, leveraging AI tools and automation to scale how the business runs

What this role is like

  • Flux is growing extremely fast; you will be drinking from the firehose

  • You’ll have visibility into and influence over nearly every major company decision

  • This role rewards judgment, speed, and ownership more than process or tenure

What we’re looking for

  • MBA or equivalent analytical background

  • Scrappy, execution-focused mindset with high ownership

  • Strong judgment and comfort operating with ambiguity

  • Ability to move fast and get things done without heavy process

If you’re excited to help build and operate one of the fastest-scaling companies in the hardware space, we’d love to hear from you.

Profile

Impact-oriented: You don't feel done until real people are getting real value from what you built.

Ambiguity-native: You thrive in the undefined. Our work is full of half-mapped terrain, soft constraints, and ideas that shift under your feet. That energizes you. You constantly update your intuitions as you go, and are excited to discover new and better ways to attack challenges we're still finding words to describe.

Collaborative: You share your thoughts early and often, and welcome debate and creative collaboration. Flux is a deeply collaborative company, and we believe that the best ideas can only win if they're said out loud.

Convention-averse: Flux is an AI-first company, building AI tooling, using AI tooling. We constantly experiment with new tools, techniques, and processes. You feel an urgency to reimagine what your work looks like in this rapidly changing world, and you value critical thinking far above established conventions.

Ownership mentality: You are a self-starter, bias toward action, and care deeply about the team and community who lean on you and your work.


Thanks for reading! Prior experience with HW or Electronics is not required - except for our Hardware internships! If the roles above don’t fit you, we’d still love to have you in our network for upcoming opportunities. PS. We're always looking to meet Engineers who are interested in writing news, technical articles, or building tutorials.
