Help build the employee experience and right-sized processes at a rapidly scaling company!

MatrixSpace develops AI-enabled radar and sensing systems that help people understand what's happening in the world around them. By combining advanced radar, edge computing, and AI, we deliver situational awareness in environments where traditional sensing solutions struggle.

We're looking for a collaborative and highly organized People Operations Coordinator to help scale our HR function as we continue to grow. You'll spend time driving recruiting processes across multiple open roles, coordinating onboarding for new hires, supporting employee engagement initiatives, and ensuring day-to-day HR operations run smoothly. Working closely with hiring managers, employees, and leadership, you'll help create an exceptional employee experience from candidate to colleague.

If you're proactive, resourceful, and excited to wear many hats in a growing company, we'd love to talk.

What You'll Do

• Coordinate full-cycle recruiting activities across 10 open positions, including scheduling interviews, managing candidate communications, and working with hiring managers to keep hiring processes moving forward
• Own and continuously improve the onboarding process for new hires across all locations
• Drive and support employee engagement initiatives, company events, recognition programs, and culture-building activities
• Maintain employee records and HR systems with a high degree of accuracy and confidentiality
• Assist with benefits administration, employee communications, and general HR operations
• Serve as a go-to resource for employees on HR-related questions and processes
• Help identify opportunities to improve and scale people programs as the company grows
• Occasional travel to our office in Hoffman Estates, IL
