Description

CTO & Co-Founder

We're building a wearable real-time translator: dental mouth guard + earpiece + on-device AI. No cloud, no phone, no delay. The long-term play is subvocal silent speech — translating without making a sound — for defense and intelligence markets.

What you'll own:

  • Full hardware architecture across all three components
  • Firmware and embedded systems stack
  • On-device ML inference pipeline (Whisper, Llama 7B, XTTS v2 on Jetson)
  • EMG subvocal pipeline — the defensible moat
  • Path from 10 prototypes to manufacturing

You're the right person if:

  • You've shipped physical hardware before
  • You know what beamforming, quantization, and RTOS mean in the same sentence
  • You get obsessed with hard problems and don't stop until it works
  • The words "defense market" and "subvocal" make you lean in, not back off

What's in it for you:

  • 35%+ equity with standard vesting
  • Seed round application in progress
  • First 10 prototypes within 4 months of funding
  • A product that doesn't exist yet — and a market that will pay for it

You have strengths in

    • Numbers, Data, and Logic
    • Driving things forward and getting things done
    • Structuring and strategic thinking

Your Skills

    • Embedded Systems
    • firmware
    • PCB Design
    • MEMS
    • TensorRT
    • Bluetooth LE
    • signal processing
    • EMG
    • RTOS
