all meticulously crafted under one roof As the Hardware Design and Engineering Lead you will drive the creation of our next-generation devices from concept sketches to mass production In this role you are an equal part visionary engineer and pragmatic builder Ultrahuman s ethos of first-principles thinking will be your guiding light you ll be encouraged to question traditional assumptions about wearable design and innovate in materials form factors and functionalities This job is for someone who wants to build iconic hardware that people love much like the leaders at Apple or Dyson who blend form and function seamlessly You ll have end-to-end ownership of hardware development leveraging our in-house UltraFactory capabilities to iterate quickly and ensure that every component down to the screws and sensors embodies excellence Responsibilities Product Conception Architecture Lead the ideation and system architecture for new Ultrahuman hardware products or major upgrades to existing ones Work closely with the product team to define device requirements size battery life sensor capabilities durability etc then translate those into engineering specifications Make key architecture decisions such as selecting core chipsets or determining sensor configurations based on first principles and feasibility Mechanical and Electrical Design Oversee and contribute to the detailed design of both electronics PCB design component selection circuit architecture and mechanical parts enclosure chassis wearability features Use CAD and EDA tools to create and review designs Ensure that the mechanical and electrical aspects are harmonized E g the layout of a PCB is optimized to fit a sleek ring form factor and materials are chosen to allow wireless signals to pass while maintaining strength Prototyping and Testing Drive rapid prototyping cycles leveraging in-house 3D printing CNC or external vendors as needed Test prototypes for performance and durability - this could range from bench testing electronics for signal fidelity to strapping prototypes on and using them in daily life Identify issues and iterate Use a hands-on approach to solve problems whether it means soldering and debugging a board or tweaking a 3D model for a better fit you re not afraid to dive in Design for Manufacture DFM As designs mature ensure they are optimized for mass production at the UltraFactory and any partner factories Work on DFM and DFA Design for Assembly improvements - simplify parts choose processes that scale injection molding stamping etc and work with manufacturing engineers to refine production processes Own the transition from prototype to production including creating necessary documentation assembly instructions and QC checkpoints for hardware Team Leadership Collaboration Lead a multidisciplinary team of electrical engineers mechanical engineers and CAD designers Provide technical mentorship set high standards for design reviews and foster an environment of innovation and meticulousness Collaborate with firmware industrial design supply chain and quality teams to ensure every hardware design decision aligns with overall product goals and timelines Requirements Educational Background Bachelor s or Master s in Electrical Engineering Mechanical Engineering or a related field A solid understanding of both disciplines electro-mechanical systems is important Experience 7 years in hardware development with experience taking at least one consumer electronic product from concept to production Prior roles as a lead or principal engineer in hardware design Experience with wearable devices medical devices or compact consumer gadgets is highly desirable Technical Skills Proficient with hardware design tools EDA software Altium Eagle or similar for PCB design and CAD software SolidWorks Creo or similar for mechanical design Strong grasp of electronics analog digital RF and mechatronics Familiarity with sensor technologies optical sensors accelerometers bio-sensors and power systems battery tech charging circuits Problem-Solving Demonstrated ability to solve complex design challenges - whether it was achieving an aggressive form factor dealing with heat dissipation in a tiny enclosure or eliminating noise in a sensor reading A track record of innovative solutions and patents or notable projects would be a plus Communication Excellent communication skills for cross-functional coordination Ability to document designs and rationale clearly and convey complex engineering concepts in easy terms when needed to explain trade-offs or decisions to leadership or other teams Preferred Experience Cross-Disciplinary Expertise Background that includes both mechanical and electrical design responsibilities For example you started as an electrical engineer but picked up a lot of mechanical know-how or vice versa enabling you to foresee issues and collaborate effectively across domains Manufacturing Exposure Significant time spent on a factory floor or working with manufacturing teams to bring a product to life Understanding of quality control processes yield improvement and supply chain considerations for key components Innovative Projects Experience in projects that pushed boundaries - such as ultra-miniaturized devices novel wearable form factors or devices with stringent requirements waterproof rugged or medically certified Passion Curiosity A love for tinkering and staying on top of the latest in hardware Maybe you have side projects like building custom electronics or you avidly follow emerging materials science breakthroughs Your passion for hardware should inspire your team and drive Ultrahuman s devices to be truly best-in-class
