We provide relocation packages and visa transfers (if required) for engineers currently in the San Francisco Bay Area and other U.S. hubs.
Why Ixana?
Bluetooth and Wi‑Fi were built for gadgets—Ixana’s Wi‑R™ is engineered for people.
Our brain‑inspired E‑field tech moves data around the body using 1/100 the energy of Bluetooth , enabling all‑day smart‑glasses, rings, neural & muscle sensors and more. Join a Purdue‑grown, venture‑backed team turning this breakthrough into the world’s first body-area-network platform.
Example: Send contact data with just a touch
What You’ll Own
Bare‑metal bring‑up of next‑gen Wi‑R transceivers and SoCs on Cortex‑M / RISC‑V MCUs.
Real‑time drivers & architecture for I²C, SPI, BLE, DMA, sensors and power domains.
Ship a reference firmware SDK that Tier‑1 consumer brands will use.
The Experience We’re After
5+ years building production firmware for wearables, medical or IoT hardware.
Proven track record squeezing microwatts out of Cortex‑M or other MCU.
Comfortable leading code reviews, tool‑chain decisions and mentoring junior talent.
Bonus: RTOS, BLE stack surgery, PCB layout literacy or neural/biometric sensing.
