Ploom is looking for a meticulous, scientifically-minded engineer to
join us in San Francisco. Ploom is currently in pre-production of a
radical consumer product and in need of a bright engineer to help
develop test and assembly processes and tools.

We are a venture funded product startup intent on bringing rapid
change to the stagnant tobacco industry. The WHO recently reported
that 1 billion people could die from smoking by the end of this
century. Public policy and other control efforts have met limited
success. Through a deep understanding of consumer needs, proprietary
technologies and intelligent business strategy we have developed a
more compelling, radically different solution.
