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. 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. COMPENSATION & BENEFITS Salary of $150,000 USD annually, plus up to 1–2% equity as a founding team member. No new visa sponsorship — H-1B transfers are supported. LOCATION On-site in New York, United States (San Francisco also considered).

This is an in-person role.
