Tasks

Job Description

We are hiring a full time Product Engineer to work directly with the CTO on the most critical technical challenges across our engineering stack. This role is designed for exceptional technical generalists who thrive in ambiguity, take ownership, and enjoy tackling difficult problems to build systems that work in the real world.

You will work across software, hardware, and data systems to solve complex technical problems. Many of these challenges have no clear solution yet and require deep understanding, structured thinking, and hands-on execution to build robust systems that perform reliably in the real world.

In addition, you will actively contribute to building and managing our intellectual property, including the execution of patent and freedom-to-operate strategies.

Your work will directly influence how we design and build technology that people rely on every day to improve their movement and quality of life.

Your Main Tasks

- Dive into complex technical challenges across software, hardware, and data systems, helping shape architecture decisions and ensuring reliable system integration

- Evaluate trade-offs between technical rigor, regulatory constraints, and business requirements

- Coordinate cross-functional technical efforts and help translate complex topics into clear decisions and execution plans

- Contribute to validation testing, technical documentation, and regulatory preparation when required

- Support building and managing our intellectual property, including identifying patentable innovations and supporting patent filings and freedom-to-operate analyses

Requirements

Must-Have Qualifications

- Outstanding academic performance in engineering, computer science, physics, applied mathematics, or a related technical field (top 10%) or finished outstanding technical projects that you have build outside university

- Strong curiosity and drive to deeply understand how complex systems work

- Ability to quickly learn new domains, structure complex problems, and make sound decisions under uncertainty

- Comfort working across disciplines such as hardware, software, data, and system design

Nice-to-Have Qualifications

- Experience with microcontrollers, embedded systems, IoT devices, machine learning, signal processing, data analysis, CAD tools, or mechanical design

- Exposure to regulated environments such as medical devices

- Project management or technical coordination experience

Benefits

What you get

- Real ownership with direct product impact in a fast moving, high standards team

- Building technology that improves people’s muscle health

- Culture with an ambitious team where your contribution is visible and valued

- Trust-based working hours, access to lab equipment and offices where you can shape your own workspace

- Opportunity to learn about managing intellectual property, including defining IP strategy, patent filings and freedom-to-operate analyses

- Steep learning curve with the freedom and responsibility to explore ideas, run experiments, and turn promising directions into real product improvements.

- Deep exposure to system architecture, medical device development, and cross-disciplinary engineering

What sets you apart

- You take end-to-end ownership and thrive in environments where you take responsibility for quality and reliability of your outcomes

- You are a strong technical generalist who can move across disciplines and dive deep when needed

- You think fast and act with intent. You quickly grasp complex problems, make sound decisions under uncertainty, and keep long-term impact in mind

- You are a builder at heart: you prototype, iterate, and turn ideas into real systems that solve meaningful user problems

- You start with the user. Technical excellence matters to you because it enables meaningful outcomes for real users
