AI introduction

Colare says it has raised $2.5 million in pre-seed funding. Its simulation-based assessments let hardware engineering candidates work in tools used on the job, giving hiring teams a view of their performance before interviews are booked. The assessments cover mechanical, electrical, systems and manufacturing roles, among others.

@esthxrtho Nice to see a pre-seed going into how hardware teams actually hire does the systems track cover firmware and embedded roles too?

We’ve raised a $2.5M pre-seed to fix hardware hiring. The most reliable way to know if an engineer can do the job is to watch them work. In hardware, that’s been almost impossible to do at scale. Colare runs simulation-based assessments that show how candidates actually work, in the tools they’d use on the job, before anyone books an interview. We assess across: - Mechanical (CAD, DFM, FEA) - Electrical (PCB, schematics) - Systems - Manufacturing, & more. Candidates solve problems from first principles. Hiring teams see that across their whole pool, so engineers only interview people who’ve already cleared the bar. We're already working with everyone from seed-stage startups to multi-billion-dollar aerospace manufacturers. If you’re hiring hardware engineers, let’s talk: https://t.co/QGXxlg0QVh
