We’re looking for a talented Mechanical Engineer who is passionate about advancing the boundaries of input devices in AR/VR. The ideal candidate is an experienced Mechanical Engineer with a background in input devices or wearables, who flourishes working in an ambiguous technology space. This position will afford you the opportunity to explore the meaning and implementation of inputs and interaction in spatial computing.
You will become a Mechanical Engineer on a team exploring new input device concepts. A wide range of approaches will be explored combining electrical, mechanical, firmware, and software techniques. We want people who work well in teams; can brainstorm big ideas; have great product sense; work in new technology areas; able to drive a concept into a prototype; and can envision how to test a hypothesis. This position is full-time and is based in Seattle.
