About Us

We're a well-funded stealth startup backed by proven founders and operators, building the next generation of consumer hardware that transforms how people interact with content, AI, and the home. We're assembling a small, elite team of engineers to create a compact, AI-powered consumer device that integrates cutting-edge voice, vision, and streaming technologies into a seamless user experience. If you're excited about building real-world hardware products from the ground up with a strong camaraderie team-and you're passionate about tight form factors, fast iteration, and shipping a world changing product.-we'd love to talk.


What You'll Do

  • Own the end-to-end hardware design of a compact consumer electronics device-from schematic capture to board bring-up and validation.
  • Collaborate closely with software, AI, and industrial design teams to optimize for performance, thermal constraints, and manufacturability.
  • Lead component selection, system architecture, and prototyping (e.g., reference platforms like Raspberry Pi, RK3566, or Amlogic boards).
  • Work with our manufacturing and operations partners on DFM, compliance, and production readiness.
  • Investigate and integrate sensors (e.g., microphones, cameras, IR or LiDAR) and support low-power audio and AI use cases.
  • Solve complex hardware challenges around power, thermal, and form factor.

What We're Looking For

  • 3-7+ years in hardware design, preferably with consumer electronics or embedded systems.
  • Deep experience with PCB design, SoC integration, and power management.
  • Strong working knowledge of wireless interfaces (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth), HDMI, USB, and general I/O protocols.
  • Experience with low-latency audio and video pipelines, embedded Linux, or Android a strong plus.
  • Familiarity with voice interfaces, camera modules, or AI edge compute (e.g., NPU/TPU) a big plus.
  • Bonus: experience building media streaming devices, TV sticks, or set-top boxes.

Why Join

  • Build an ambitious product with real-world impact, from first prototypes to mass production.
  • Work with founders who've built unicorn companies and know how to move fast and ship.
  • Competitive compensation, equity, and the chance to shape the future of the product-and the company.
  • Small empowered team. No bureaucracy. Big upside.
