About KLVIN
KLVIN Technology Labs is an Industrial AI Platform company. We build edge hardware that generates the data Indian manufacturing has never had, and the SENTINEL Intelligence Platform that turns it into decisions.
Our devices have been commercially deployed since February 2026 across steel, glass, packaging, food and pharma customers. We hold an Indian patent on our predictive maintenance system, and are supported by MeitY under TIDE 2.0 (administered via iCreate), DST under NIDHI Prayas, IIT Hyderabad TBI, ISB DLabs, NSRCEL at IIM Bangalore, the BharatNext accelerator, MathWorks and Peachscore.
Hardware at KLVIN is an R&D; function. We design here; volume assembly runs through an established contract manufacturing partner. That means this role is design-and-validation heavy rather than production-line heavy — but you own the design through to a manufacturable, certifiable, field-proven unit.
The role
We have a working product line, paying customers, a manufacturing partner and a platform team consuming the data. This role is about what comes next:



the next generation of our devices, new device types as we expand the family, and raising the engineering bar on everything we ship.
You will set hardware architecture and design the boards yourself. You'll work alongside our hardware engineering team, our platform engineer who owns SENTINEL end-to-end, and our assembly and component vendors, reporting directly to the founder.
To be transparent about the shape of it: this is a hands-on lead role, not a management seat. You'll be at the bench and on the factory floor. The leadership is in the architecture calls, the design standards, and mentoring the engineers around you — not in headcount.
On platform choice — ESP32 has been our workhorse and remains a strong answer for connected sensing nodes. As the product family widens, other problems will point elsewhere: ultra-low-power BLE nodes, precision analog acquisition, higher-throughput edge inference, safety-adjacent ap
