Our client is building the next frontier of travel: AI-powered smart glasses that let you experience the world hands-free. Whether you're navigating the streets of Tokyo, translating a street sign in Rome, or snapping memories at a night market in Bangkok, Sidekick is the ultimate travel companion — context-aware, multilingual, and beautifully wearable.
About the Role We’re looking for a Product Engineer to help bring smart glasses from prototype to product. You will sit at the intersection of hardware, software, and AI, working with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless product experiences ( from firmware-level integrations to end-user interactions.)
You should be excited about:
- Hardware-software systems
- Consumer-grade electronics
- Real-world prototyping
- Building delightful, intelligent experiences
Responsibilities
- Own the technical development and integration of smart wearable features (voice, translation, navigation, photography, etc.)
- Work closely with hardware vendors, firmware engineers, and software teams to align feature implementation across platforms (Android Go, waveguide lens tech, mic arrays)
- Prototype and validate end-to-end product features (e.g. wake-word detection, context-aware translation, camera triggers)
- Contribute to product architecture decisions and help define system-level requirements
- Work with the product team to test and validate user experiences in the field
- Write robust, maintainable code across firmware and system integration layers
- Support manufacturing and validation processes through EVT/DVT/PVT phases
GOOD TO HAVE
- 3+ years experience in hardware-software product development
- Strong understanding of embedded systems, firmware integration, and Android-based devices
- Hands-on experience with IoT or wearable devices, ideally in consumer hardware
- Familiarity with one or more of the following: embedded C/C++, Kotlin, Android HAL, BLE, camera APIs, voice UI stacks
- Proven track record of shipping or scaling real-world products
- Strong product sensibility: cares not just about “how it works” but how it feels
