Description:
You will be responsible for the end-to-end development of custom wearable hardware systems, starting with rapid prototyping and moving into production-ready architecture and designs. This includes electrical design, component selection, PCB development, system integration, validation, and support for manufacturing.
This is a role for someone who enjoys solving real problems, building working systems quickly, and iterating toward robust commercial hardware.
Responsibilities:
- Lead the design of embedded hardware systems for wearable sensing applications
- Own schematic capture, PCB layout, and design-for-manufacture
- Ensure electrical reliability, noise performance, and accurate signal capture
- Integrate microcontrollers, sensors, radios, and power systems
- Support firmware bring-up and debugging
- Work closely with software team to ensure system coherence
- Prepare documentation for fabrication and assembly
- Collaborate with external partners for prototype builds and small-batch runs
- Conduct hardware validation, stress tests, and reliability analyses
- Support compliance, certification, and production transition
Requirements:
- 2+ years of experience in embedded hardware or electronic product development
- Strong background in designing microcontroller-based hardware
- Experience with sensors, power systems, and wireless-enabled embedded devices
- Proficiency with PCB design tools
- Ability to debug complex hardware issues
- Strong understanding of mixed-signal design principles
- Practical, execution-driven, and detail-oriented
- Comfortable working quickly with prototypes and iteration cycles
- Follows requirements precisely; avoids over-engineering
- Strong communication and documentation
- Able to thrive in a fast-paced startup environment
