About the role

  • Our first product is a sensor-rich textile beanie that measures the wearer's physiology and surroundings.
  • We are going to market by the end of the year.
  • PPG is the primary focus, including the optical front-end, the skin interface, and the algorithms that produce a reliable heart rate and HRV signal during motion.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the sensor system architecture and R&D for the product's non-EEG sensing.
  • Design, select, and evaluate the sensor suite, with optical sensing as the primary focus:
  • Own heart-rate and HRV estimation, including the algorithms that stay accurate while the wearer is in motion.
  • Drive sensor front-end design and component selection, with BOM ownership and second-source strategy, partnering with the EE lead on schematic and layout.
  • Develop the signal conditioning, calibration, and characterization methods across the sensor suite.
  • Specify the electrical, mechanical, and firmware interfaces each sensor needs, partnering with product design on skin-contact placement and optical windows, and with firmware on the acquisition runtime and hardware-aligned cross-sensor timestamping.
  • Partner with the AI/ML lead on anything that becomes a learned model, and with the reliability lead on skin-contact durability, sweat tolerance, and long-wear stability.
  • Lead technical reviews and design documentation for the sensing system.
  • Ship the product by end of year, and build and lead the sensing team.

Requirements

  • 10+ years in sensor or hardware development for consumer wearables, with at least one shipped product where you owned a sensing system end-to-end.
  • Experience integrating sensors in wearables: selection, calibration, characterization, and data analysis.
  • Knowledge of human physiology or biomechanics.

Compensation

  • Competitive base salary
  • 401(k) with company matching
  • Evaluation completed within 14 days of first interview
  • Offer letter dispatched same day as go decision, valid for 10 days
  • Start date within 4 weeks of offer acceptance
  • All candidate queries responded to within 3 hours during business hours

Benefits

  • Health insurance
  • We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.

Company info

  • We're a small team solving one of the hardest problems in human-computer interaction: a noninvasive wearable that turns thought into text, no surgery required.
  • By pairing ultra-high-density neural sensing with our Brain Foundation Model, we decode neural signals with a fidelity once reserved for implants.
  • Our mission is to give a billion people a direct link between mind and machine - expanding how humans think, communicate, and create.
  • We are building a next-generation AI companion wearable powered by EEG/BCI technology.
  • Our device reads and responds to neural signals in real time, creating a deeply personal experience that adapts to each user.
  • This is not another productivity tool or a gadget - it is a new category of technology built around human potential.
  • We are backed by strong investors, moving fast, and assembling a world-class team to bring this to market.
  • If you thrive at the frontier of what's possible and want to build something that genuinely changes how people interact with their own minds, we want to talk to you.
  • Our first product is a sensor-rich textile beanie that measures the wearer's physiology and surroundings. We are going to market by the end of the year.
