About the job

About Our Work

We are neuroscientists who build ground-breaking technology for the spatial computing era. We stimulate nerves to create artificial tactile sensations, creating new, more meaningful connections to the user for notifications, 3D digital content, physical AI, health information, and beyond. Our first products will be mobile, wearable devices that stream haptic data from multiple digital sources to create meaningful sensations of touch.

What You'll Be Doing

The Electrical Engineer is responsible for supporting the design, development, testing, and implementation of hardware and electrical systems for new and existing products. This role applies strong technical knowledge to solve engineering challenges, contribute to product development efforts, and support reliable, high-quality hardware solutions. The position works collaboratively with cross-functional teams and contributes technical expertise throughout the product lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities

  • System design and development including architecture, integration, and new technology development.
  • Drive miniaturization and low power operation through custom hardware development, power modeling, and hardware/software optimization.
  • Develop and manage system performance and validation plans around EMI/ESD, coexistence, and reliability.
  • Ensure all electronic designs meet regulatory standards (EMC, EMI, safety certifications like FCC, CE, UL).
  • Contribute to hardware design reviews, prototype development, validation testing, and system integration activities
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including software, manufacturing, quality, and project management, to support product development goals and timelines
  • Assist in evaluating technical solutions, components, and technologies to support product performance, reliability, and cost objectives
  • Troubleshoot hardware and electrical system issues and support root-cause analysis and corrective actions
  • Create and maintain engineering documentation, including schematics, test plans, reports, specifications, and design updates
  • Support verification, validation, and performance testing activities to ensure products meet technical and quality requirements
  • Participate in continuous improvement efforts related to engineering processes, product quality, and operational efficiency
  • Work with leadership to define project planning, product roadmaps and timelines.
  • Support collaboration with vendors, suppliers, and external partners as needed to assist with product development and issue resolution
  • Share technical knowledge and collaborate with team members to support successful project execution
