About the RoleThis is a founding engineering role at a Y Combinator-backed wearable startup, where you'll own the full electrical and board design for a consumer wearable device. Sitting at the heart of a small, fast-moving hardware team, you'll be the person who takes the electronics from early prototype to production-ready hardware - a high-impact position with real ownership as the company scales.
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.
What We're Looking For- At least 3 years of hands-on experience in PCB/board design and embedded hardware.
- 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.
