Hardware Recruiter

Senra Systems•Cypress, CA

3h•$90,000 - $120,000•Hybrid

About The Position

At Senra Systems, we believe that the future of manufacturing lies not in automation, but in configuration. We supercharge electrical wire harness manufacturing through software configuration, transforming skilled assembly tasks into high-throughput production lines. We enable customers to design what they want, when they want it and deliver harness builds at record-breaking speed. Role Overview: We are hiring a Recruiter to play a key role in scaling our organization. Over the next year, we expect to significantly grow headcount across both our manufacturing operations and corporate functions as we launch our second factory. This role will be central to supporting that growth. You will own full cycle hiring across the business — from high volume technician roles to critical corporate positions spanning Engineering, Finance, Sales, and G&A. This role requires range: you'll need to move quickly on production floor hiring while also running rigorous, relationship-driven searches for office and professional roles. We are looking for someone who can build durable hiring pipelines, move quickly without sacrificing quality, and make hiring decisions that support long term performance and retention.

Clear and direct communicator who can set expectations and push back when needed.
High ownership, follow through, and attention to detail.
