Company Description 1008 Network is India’s turnkey venture execution and syndicate partner, working with industry leaders to build and scale operating companies on the ground. Instead of traditional consulting retainers, the organization aligns incentives through shared equity and milestone-based execution. 1008 Network handles end-to-end physical asset commissioning, digital systems and feasibility MVPs, commercial go-to-market and first revenue, as well as capital syndication from an active investor network. All IP, assets, and legal ownership remain with the client’s corporate entity, with a phased handover to operational autonomy.

The team focuses on practical execution, transparent investor readiness, and long-term venture resilience.

Role Description The Hardware & IoT Engineering Lead / Partner (Wearables) role is a remote, contract position focused on leading hardware and IoT product development for wearable solutions within 1008 Network’s venture portfolio. The person in this role will architect end-to-end hardware systems, oversee circuit design and validation, and guide prototyping and iteration for wearables integrating sensors, connectivity modules, and power systems. They will collaborate closely with founders, industrial partners, and software teams to translate market requirements into robust, manufacturable hardware designs and ensure alignment with regulatory, reliability, and cost constraints.

Day-to-day work includes reviewing schematics and layouts, selecting components, supervising testing and debugging, coordinating with OEMs and manufacturing partners,



and maintaining technical documentation and BOMs. The role also involves contributing to feasibility studies, de-risking hardware-related assumptions, and supporting investor and stakeholder discussions with clear technical narratives and data.

Qualifications

- Candidates should possess robust skills in Hardware Development and Hardware Architecture, with experience designing end-to-end systems for wearables or IoT devices.
- Candidates should possess solid Circuit Design and Computer Hardware skills, including schematic creation, PCB layout collaboration, component selection, and board-level debugging.
- Candidates should possess deep practical experience working with Hardware in production contexts, including prototyping, testing, reliability engineering, and design for manufacturability.
- Experience with low-power embedded systems, sensor integration, wireless communication (e.g., BLE, Wi-Fi, LTE), and power management in wearables is highly beneficial.
- Ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams (firmware, cloud, manufacturing, and commercial), communicate clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders, and document designs rigorously.
- Background in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent hands-on industry experience leading hardware products from concept to deployment.
- Familiarity with regulatory and compliance requirements for consumer or medical-grade wearables, and experience working with OEMs, fabricators, and supply-chain partners is a plus.
