What You'll Do

  • Own end-to-end electrical and PCB/board design for the wearable device.

  • Iterate rapidly through device revisions in response to testing, user feedback, and production requirements.

  • Drive consumer hardware from working prototype through to mass production.

  • A track record of shipping physical consumer electronics products end-to-end.

  • Strong background in sensor integration and consumer-grade hardware development.

  • Experience working in fast-paced, resource-constrained hardware environments.

  • Background from consumer electronics, wearables, or similar hardware-focused companies is a strong plus.

Compensation & Benefits

Salary of $150,000 USD annually, plus up to 1–2% equity as a founding team member. No new visa sponsorship β€” H-1B transfers are supported.
