Location: Abu Dhabi, UAE preferred

Work Type: Full-time, 5 days per week

Work Arrangement: Flexible — remote, office, or hybrid depending on project needs

We are looking for a hands-on Embedded Systems Engineer to help build wearable hardware, including smart glasses and portable AI computing systems.

The role is ideal for someone who enjoys building real devices, testing hardware, solving practical engineering problems, and working on early-stage technology. Professional experience is welcome, but it is not the most important requirement. What matters most is that you have completed many hands-on projects and can show practical ability.

You will be working on systems that may include cameras, microphones, speakers, physical buttons, Raspberry Pi, Jetson, Radxa, microcontrollers, sensors, USB devices, batteries, and portable compute units.

• Strong hands-on experience with embedded systems or hardware projects
• Good understanding of Python and C and/or C++
• Experience with Linux, Raspberry Pi, Jetson, Arduino, ESP32, STM32, or similar platforms
• Ability to work with cameras, microphones, speakers, buttons, sensors, or USB devices
• Comfortable using Git, terminal commands, and basic debugging tools
• Ability to build, test, fail, improve, and iterate quickly
• Practical problem-solving mindset
• Ability to work independently and take initiative

• Experience with AI hardware, edge AI, computer vision, or local AI models
• Experience with audio systems, microphones, speakers, and voice assistants
• Experience with 3D printing, CAD, enclosures, or wearable device prototyping
• Experience with PCB design tools such as KiCad
• Experience with batteries, power banks, USB-C power, or portable electronics
• Experience with robotics, drones, wearables, smart glasses, or IoT devices

We care more about what you have built than where you have worked.

You may be a student, recent graduate, self-taught engineer, freelancer, maker, robotics builder, or embedded developer. If you have strong hands-on projects and can show that you can build working prototypes, we would like to hear from you.

The initial salary is AED 3,000/month , with room for growth as the project develops and based on your performance, reliability, and contribution.
