Job Description:

Consumer Products Research prototypes the future of computing: we explore new modalities, interaction patterns, and system behaviors, then do the engineering required to make those ideas real in rigorous prototypes. The Neosensing team sits at the intersection of sensing, edge algorithms, and systems engineering. We build the end-to-end software that turns new signals into dependable capabilities—collection tooling and protocols, algorithm integration and evaluation hooks, and on-device loops that stay stable under real-world variability. We care deeply about software quality and iteration speed: clean interfaces, debuggability, observability, and performance under tight device constraints.

Job Responsibility:

  • Build and ship production software for sensing algorithms, translating algorithm prototypes into reliable end-to-end systems
  • Implement and own key parts of the Python shipping pipeline (integration surfaces, evaluation hooks, and quality/performance guardrails)
  • Develop embedded/on-device software in an RTOS environment (e.g., Zephyr) and deploy models to device runtimes and hardware accelerators
  • Optimize real-time on-device perception loops (e.g., detection/tracking-style pipelines) for stability, latency, power, and memory constraints
  • Create data collection + instrumentation tooling to bring up new sensing modalities and accelerate iteration from prototype → dataset → model → device
  • Partner cross-functionally (algorithms, human data, firmware/hardware) to debug, profile, and harden systems against real-world variability

Requirements:

  • Love writing great software and want your work to sit close to novel sensing and edge algorithms
  • Understand algorithm behavior well enough to integrate, debug, and evaluate it
  • Have shipped production Python systems and care about clean interfaces, tests, and long-term maintainability
  • Enjoy embedded/on-device work and can debug across hardware, firmware, and higher-level application layers
  • Care about performance engineering and know how to profile and optimize under tight device constraints
  • Take ownership end-to-end and thrive in ambiguous, fast-moving, zero-to-one environments

Nice to have:

  • Zephyr (or similar RTOS) experience
  • On-device ML deployment (NPU/GPU/DSP) and accelerator-aware profiling/optimization
  • Background in multimodal sensing, sensor fusion, or on-device perception
  • Experience building data collection systems and human-in-the-loop workflows (protocols, QA, metadata)
What we offer:
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance for you and your family, with employer contributions to Health Savings Accounts
  • Pre-tax accounts for Health FSA, Dependent Care FSA, and commuter expenses (parking and transit)
  • 401(k) retirement plan with employer match
  • Paid parental leave (up to 24 weeks for birth parents and 20 weeks for non-birthing parents), plus paid medical and caregiver leave (up to 8 weeks)
  • Paid time off: flexible PTO for exempt employees and up to 15 days annually for non-exempt employees
  • 13+ paid company holidays, and multiple paid coordinated company office closures throughout the year for focus and recharge, plus paid sick or safe time (1 hour per 30 hours worked, or more, as required by applicable state or local law)
  • Mental health and wellness support
  • Employer-paid basic life and disability coverage
  • Annual learning and development stipend to fuel your professional growth
  • Daily meals in our offices, and meal delivery credits as eligible
  • Relocation support for eligible employees
  • Additional taxable fringe benefits, such as charitable donation matching and wellness stipends
  • Offers Equity
  • performance-related bonus(es) for eligible employees
