  • Collaborate with mechanical, firmware, software, UX, and machine learning partners to define, evaluate, and optimize hardware systems.

  • Identify, evaluate, engage, and drive partners and vendors to accelerate hardware development.

Required Qualifications:

  • 10+ years of experience owning and delivering complex EE designs.

  • 5+ years of experience leading & delivering complex projects encompassing computing, electrical systems, sensors, power, mechanical, and firmware.

  • Familiar with firmware development and comfortable with independent basic bring-up and debug code.

  • Excellent written & verbal communication skills.

  • Passion for learning, and experimentation evidenced by side projects or learning endeavors.

  • BS or MS in EE or equivalent.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Deep experience with one of the following areas: battery, RF, capacitive touch, audio, or image sensors.

  • Experience developing and shipping a wearable product, including machine perception or machine learning-powered features, with challenging power and form factor constraints.

  • Experience selecting and guiding partners to augment development speed/bandwidth.

  • Familiarity with machine learning algorithms, data collection, and hardware acceleration.

  • Experience in a startup or research organization.
