About this role
ABOUT THE ROLE
This 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.
