About Ixana Ixana is a Purdue University spinoff pioneering brain-inspired wearable computing. We’ve developed Wi-R, a patented communication technology that is 100x more energy-efficient than Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Join our team building the next era of real-time, AI-powered human-computer interaction.
The Wi-R Revolution Wi-R is our patented non-radiative near-field communication technology that creates secure, wire-like wireless experiences through small E-field bubbles around the body or device surface. This breakthrough enables unprecedented energy efficiency and low latency, making all-day wearable and other power-constrained devices finally practical.
See our website for demos of high-speed data streaming through skin contact.
What you’ll do
Design and develop embedded hardware systems around Ixana’s Wi-R SoCs for next-generation wearable and connected devices
Own hardware development from concept through schematic capture, PCB layout, board bring-up, debug, and validation
Work on low-power mixed-signal and digital designs including sensors, interfaces, power management, and high-speed connectivity
Bring up and characterize prototype boards in the lab using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power analyzers, and other bench equipment
Collaborate closely with IC, firmware, software, mechanical, and test teams to enable fast iteration from silicon to product demos
Support design-for-test, reliability, manufacturability, and system integration across development builds
Contribute to reference designs, internal tools, documentation, and patentable innovations
What we’re looking for Required:
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electronics, or a similar field plus 2+ years of relevant experience, or a Master’s degree in a similar field
Hands-on experience with embedded hardware design, PCB development, board bring-up, and lab debugging
Familiarity with schematic capture and PCB design tools such as Altium or KiCad
Strong understanding of low-power electronics, digital interfaces, and hardware-software integration
Comfortable working on-site in West Lafayette 5 days per week
Preferred:
Experience with wearable, consumer electronics, IoT, or other compact embedded systems
Experience with mixed-signal design, sensors, PMICs, batteries, and embedded interfaces such as SPI, I2C, UART, USB, or BLE/Wi-Fi companion systems
Familiarity with firmware bring-up and embedded C/C++ or Python for scripting and test automation
Experience debugging with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, or power analyzers
Knowledge of DFM, DFT, EMI/EMC considerations, and early-stage product development
Startup experience or a track record of shipping hardware in fast-moving teams
Base salary: $95,000-$125,000 USD, aligned to early-career embedded hardware hiring in West Lafayette while remaining competitive with broader U.S. electrical engineering benchmarks
Cash bonus: 8%-20% annual bonus based on impact and performance
Meaningful early-stage equity
Relocation bonus and partner job-search help
Full visa sponsorship including STEM-OPT transfer / H-1B / TN / future green card support
