Founding Member (Embedded Hardware Engineer)

About the job

Company Description Computing is becoming more and more three dimensional. The mouse and keyboard, designed for computers nearly 6 decades ago, have become a bottleneck to modern day capabilities. Xilior Technologies is looking to revolutionize human computer interaction with our first product enabling touchless gesture recognition and hand tracking through a non-invasive wristband for PCs and VR/AR.

Allowing users to access the 3D functionality of hand tracking introduces a level of functionality that will fundamentally change how the next computers, interfaces, and robots are designed and function. Our mission envisions technology that is both attentive and responsive, and we believe improving how we interact with technology in our daily lives is key to building a future we can be excited for.
