Ommo is the pioneer of permanent magnet-based 3D tracking technology, providing ultra-precise 6DOF tracking for tiny sensors in real-time, at up to 1,000 times per second. We track the position and orientation of tiny sensors that are less than 1mm in size, with up to 0.1mm precision. Serving as a localized GPS for surgical navigation systems, our technology will eventually be used for a variety of digital transformation use cases, including virtual training, robotics, and human-machine interfaces. We are seeking an experienced and driven Head of Mechanical Engineering to lead and take ownership of our product development team. The Head of Mechanical Engineering at Ommo is a highly technical, hands-on engineering leader who drives the mechanical architecture, precision design, and productization of our core technology. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in solving complex mechanical problems, driving design rigor, and building best-in-class hardware. You’ll play a key part in shaping our technology and supporting the growth of both the team and the company, without the heavy administrative focus that comes with a traditional director-level role.
