Sniffspace is how we present breath samples to detection dogs, and it needs to go from hundreds of samples a day to thousands, from one platform to tens around the world. You will build the systems that make that leap, and lead the hardware team that builds alongside you.
The System
Our hardware spans automated sample-presentation platforms, an 8-channel canine BCI (Dogsense), and sensor-rich rigs running on Raspberry Pi, ESP32, and custom PCBs. We prototype in-house with 3D printing, CNC, and laser cutting, manage 600+ vendor parts, and run linear actuators, servo systems, vacuum, and latch mechanisms under real reliability constraints.
What You Will Do
Take Sniffspace from hundreds of samples a day to thousands, and from one platform to tens deployed worldwide.
Design novel systems to capture, manage, and present breath samples to detection dogs with repeatable precision.
Own reliability across tolerances, materials, and failure modes, so platforms hold up in the field.
Lead the hardware team, setting technical direction and raising the engineering bar.




Drive designs from prototype through manufacturing, vendor development, and deployment.
What Success Looks Like (6 Months)
Sniffspace throughput has climbed toward thousands of samples a day on a hardened platform.
A repeatable build and deployment process brings new platforms online in weeks, not months.
The hardware team ships on a predictable cadence with you setting direction.
You Are a Positive Fit If
You have built and scaled reliable robotic or industrial-grade systems from prototype to production.
You have 5 to 7 years or more of hardware engineering, with some experience leading engineers.
You think in tolerances, failure modes, and margins, and design for the field, not the bench.
You move comfortably across mechanical, electronics, and firmware boundaries.
You want to own a platform end to end rather than one subsystem.
Valuable but Not Required
You have worked in health, space, or precision manufacturing wh
