Job description

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.

Requirements

01 Flexible or stretchable electronics, textile-integrated electronics, or printed electronics

02 Force, pressure, or capacitive sensing

03 Analog front-end design and embedded systems

04 Signal processing for high-resolution sensor data

05 Wearable devices and sensor manufacturing

07 Bonus: robotics, human-computer interaction, machine learning for sensing, consumer electronics, or high-volume manufacturing

08 You enjoy building things that don't exist yet and hold a high bar for engineering quality

09 You like moving fast with a small team, and want your work deployed on real robots—not left in a research paper

Details & responsibilities

01 Design flexible tactile sensing systems for the human hand

02 Develop pressure and force sensing technologies

03 Build wearable electronic systems from the ground up

04 PCB design and embedded electronics

05 Sensor characterization and calibration

06 Develop manufacturing processes for wearable products

07 Integrate tactile sensing with robotic data collection pipelines

08 Own problems end to end across sensing, electronics, manufacturing, and system integration

01 Help build technology that could fundamentally change how robots learn from humans

02 Your work could become part of the data collection pipeline behind the next generation of robotics foundation models

03 Be part of a startup backed by First Round Capital and Y Combinator, redefining physical AI

04 Ship real products—already deployed to robotics companies and research labs worldwide

05 Comprehensive health and dental coverage

06 Competitive salary with equity
