    Job Description

    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.
