Position: Junior Hardware Engineer

Mode: In-Office

Type: Full-time

Opportunity Status: Immediate

Office Location: Bangalore, Cureous

Company Overview

Cureous Labs is a medical technology startup, spin-off from AIIMS New Delhi, pioneering India’s first intelligent patient repositioning system, Eturnal™. Our mission is to transform patient care and reduce the burden on healthcare workers through innovative, human-centered technologies. Backed by BIRAC, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and leading angels, Cureous Labs is scaling its go-to-market rapidly with a mission to deploy 100+ units in the next quarter.

Position Overview

We are looking for a hands-on Junior Hardware Engineer who can support PCB design, component selection, prototyping, testing, debugging, repairs, and service-related technical activities.

This is a practical engineering role, not just a desk-based design role. You will work closely with the hardware, software, mechanical, manufacturing, service, and operations teams to build, test, improve, and support real medical devices used in hospitals and patient-care environments.
