At Hoomanely, we're building the first precision health platform for pets — a sensor-driven, AI-powered ecosystem that decodes the health signals dogs give off every day, the ones most people miss, and turns them into insight you can act on.

It starts with EverBowl, a clinical-grade device that reads hydration, intake, body temperature, eating behavior, and the sound of a bite — building toward a single daily wellness score. Paired with the Hoomanely app and Protect+, our insurance-rewards membership, we're helping pet parents move from guesswork to knowing. Calm. Confident. In control.

We're not building another pet gadget. None of it works without hardware that reads the same signal reliably, meal after meal, for years — on a device that has to be safe, stable, and manufacturable at scale. That's the problem this role exists to solve.

We're looking for a hardware engineer to design and validate the electrical and mechanical systems behind Hoomanely's connected devices, working closely with firmware and industrial design to take products from schematic to a reliable, mass-manufactured device.

• Design and validate schematics and PCB layouts for sensor-driven consumer hardware, including power, battery charging, and signal integrity
• Select and integrate sensors — thermal imagers, IMUs, cameras — ensuring correct electrical interfacing with the compute module
• Design safe battery charging paths, thermal cutoff mechanisms, and power budgets that hold up under continuous real-world use
• Design clock trees and signal paths that stay stable across crystal tolerance drift and environmental variation
• Work with contract manufacturers on DFM and DFT, and support bring-up, debugging, and yield improvement during production runs
• Build and run test fixtures to validate hardware performance, reliability, and compliance requirements
• Work closely with firmware, industrial design, and ML teams to make sure the hardware supports the sensing accuracy the product depends on

• You have a B.Tech in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, or related field from a Tier 1 institute (IIT, NIT, BITS Pilani, or equivalent) — mandatory
• You have 4+ years of hardware design experience
• You have strong hands-on experience with schematic design, PCB layout, and power management circuits
• You're proficient with EDA tools (Altium, KiCad, or equivalent) and lab equipment for hardware validation
• You've taken a hardware design from prototype through DFM to mass production
• Bonus: experience with thermal imaging, IMU, or camera sensor integration
• Bonus: familiarity with battery charging ICs and safety certification requirements
• Bonus: prior experience in IoT, wearables, or connected consumer hardware

• Design hardware that ends up in the hands (and homes) of real pet parents — not a reference board that never ships
• Own real pieces of a product taken from schematic to mass manufacturing
• Take ownership early, with a direct line to firmware, industrial design, and founding leadership
• Join a small, fast-moving team building a category-defining, sensor-driven product
