About Kreo

Kreo builds creator and productivity hardware across keyboards, mice, audio gear, and desk tools. We’re now building a new category of AI interaction devices: small physical products that make working with AI faster, more natural, and less trapped inside screens.

Think push-to-talk AI microphones, wireless input devices, programmable controls, and hardware that turns voice, touch, buttons, and gestures into instant software actions. Role

We’re looking for someone who can own hardware and firmware end-to-end: from concept and architecture to PCB, bring-up, embedded firmware, EVT/DVT, supplier coordination, and production readiness.

You’ll work closely with product, industrial design, mechanical, software, and manufacturing partners to ship reliable consumer hardware, not just prototypes. What You’ll Work On

Push-to-talk AI mic / transcription hardware

Wireless input and control devices

USB HID and USB audio workflows

BLE / 2.4 GHz device architecture

Battery-powered, low-latency consumer devices

Firmware that connects physical hardware to real user workflows Responsibilities

Own schematic review, PCB design direction, component selection, and board bring-up

Develop and debug embedded firmware for wireless, USB, audio, buttons, LEDs, battery, and power states

Validate prototypes across RF, audio, latency, battery life, charging, reliability, and usability

Work with suppliers/CMs on samples, DFM,



test fixtures, production issues, and quality checks

Create bring-up plans, test plans, risk lists, and hardware/firmware documentation

Drive hardware from prototype to EVT/DVT/PVT and production readiness Requirements

Hands-on experience building real consumer hardware products

Strong PCB, electronics, debugging, and component selection fundamentals

Embedded firmware experience in C/C++ or similar

Experience with BLE, 2.4 GHz, Wi-Fi, or other wireless systems

Familiarity with USB HID, USB audio, MEMS microphones, batteries, charging, and low-power systems

Ability to debug across hardware, firmware, RF, audio, and manufacturing issues

Experience working with suppliers, vendors, or contract manufacturers Bonus

Experience with microphones, wearables, dongles, keyboards, macropads, creator tools, or productivity hardware

Experience taking a product through EVT, DVT, PVT, or mass production

Experience with RF certification, audio testing, factory test fixtures, or consumer electronics compliance Who This Is For

Someone who has made hardware work in the real world. You’ve debugged boards, shipped firmware, dealt with supplier issues, made tradeoffs, and understand that outstanding hardware is not just a PCB: it’s reliability, latency, battery life, manufacturability, and user experience coming together.
