Onboard an Engineer in Hours, Not Days
A new engineer who spends their first three days chasing access is a hire you paid for and could not use.
The cost of a slow first day
Hard-tech hires are expensive and hard to find. When one starts and cannot get into source control, the cluster, or the design tools until someone manually grants each thing, you burn their first days and pull a senior engineer off real work to play IT. Multiply that by every hire and it is a real tax on the team.
Worse, manual onboarding is where access sprawl begins. Permissions get copied from whoever sat nearby and never get cleaned up.
Define access by role, not by favor
The fix is to decide in advance what a firmware engineer, an ME, or a data scientist should have on day one, and write it down as a role. Onboarding then becomes assigning a role rather than reconstructing access from memory and a Slack thread.
Roles also make offboarding clean and auditable. Removing a leaver is one action, and a reviewer can see exactly what each role grants without spelunking through a dozen systems.
Automate the provisioning chain
Tie accounts to a single identity provider so one login fans out to email, source control, cloud, design tools, and chat. Hand new machines over already enrolled, encrypted, and configured through device management, so the laptop is work-ready out of the box instead of a half-day setup project.
The standard you want: an account created, a role assigned, a laptop that configures itself on first boot, and the engineer building something real before lunch.
Keep it secure while you keep it fast
Fast onboarding and good security are the same project, not a trade-off. Hardware-key login, least-privilege roles, and managed devices mean speeding up access also tightens it, because every grant is deliberate and every device is known.
We build the roles and automation with you once, then run the day-to-day so each new hire is productive in hours and every departure closes cleanly the same day.
