🖐️ Tactile Sensing Hardware Engineer

At Proception we're building the hardware layer for Physical AI. Our products, ProHand and ProGlove, let robots manipulate the world with human-like dexterity while collecting high-quality human demonstration data for next-generation robot foundation models. We're backed by First Round Capital, Y Combinator, and other leading investors, and are already shipping to robotics companies and research labs worldwide. We're looking for an exceptional hardware engineer to build the next generation of wearable tactile sensing systems. This is not another VR glove. You'll help develop a glove capable of capturing high-resolution tactile information from the human hand—creating one of the world's most advanced interfaces for teaching robots—and own problems spanning sensing, electronics, manufacturing, and system integration. Instead of making robots imitate people through teleoperation, we're creating the sensing interface that lets robots learn directly from natural human manipulation. If successful, your work could become part of the data collection pipeline behind the next generation of robotics foundation models. This is a role for someone who enjoys building things that don't exist yet, cares deeply about engineering quality, likes moving fast with a small team, and wants their work deployed on real robots—not left in a research paper. Design flexible tactile sensing systems for the human hand Develop pressure and force sensing technologies Build wearable electronic systems from the ground up PCB design and embedded electronics Sensor characterization and calibration Develop manufacturing processes for wearable products Integrate tactile sensing with robotic data collection pipelines Own problems end to end across sensing, electronics, manufacturing, and system integration
