Founding Hardware Engineer
About the Role
Join an early-stage consumer AI hardware team as its founding hardware engineer. You will own the device hardware from the next board revision through production, helping build a compact wearable designed for private, hands-free interaction with computers.
What You'll Do
Improve PCB layout and optimize power, RF performance, size, reliability, and cost.
Advance the device from prototype toward production, including design for manufacture, testing, supplier coordination, and assembly.
Identify and resolve risks during hardware bring-up, real-world testing, and manufacturing.
Make hardware decisions and maintain quality across the units produced.
What We're Looking For
Typically 2 to 7 years of hardware engineering experience, with hands-on individual contributor experience.
Personally designed PCBs that shipped in a real product, ideally a compact wearable, IoT device, or consumer electronic product.
Experience taking hardware from prototype to production, or strong engineering fundamentals and demonstrated ability to work quickly with AI tools.
