Job Title: Founding Hardware Engineer, Tactile Systems

Company Description: Monty AI - Building physical AI data infrastructure for humanoid robotics

Job Description:
You will lead the tactile glove program, designing the hardware stack that generates training data for the next wave of humanoid robots. You'll own sensor integration, rigid-flex PCB design, and firmware development while managing external partners for mechanical and industrial design. This is a unique opportunity to work with novel MEMS-based tactile sensors.

Location: San Francisco, USA

Why this role is remarkable:

• Work with world-class founders from Meta Superintelligence Labs, Intel, and Stanford on the cutting edge of physical AI.

• Access proprietary, state-of-the-art active MEMS sensors with on-chip digitization through an exclusive hardware joint venture.

• Flexible founding-level role with significant equity upside and the chance to build a real hardware moat for humanoid robotics.

What you will do:

• Architect and design high-density tactile glove electronics, including rigid-flex PCB layout, power distribution, and signal integrity.

• Develop low-level firmware for sensor data acquisition, synchronization, and deterministic streaming using RTOS and C/C++ protocols.

• Quarterback external mechanical and industrial design partners to ensure ergonomics, durability, and manufacturability of wearable hardware.

The ideal candidate:

• Proven track record of shipping complex wearables or integrated hardware products from bench prototype to pilot production.

• Expert-level skill in rigid-flex multilayer PCB design using Altium and embedded firmware development for sensor fusion.

• Demonstrated experience managing external ME/ID contractors and manufacturing partners while maintaining a high bar for data fidelity.

We never post fake jobs
This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.
Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.
We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.
Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
