HARDWARE ENGINEER - INTERNSHIP

Wisear is hiring!

About

  • Our Story:

Wisear is a DeepTech company that is committed to building the future of human-computer interface with neural interface. We believe that the way we interact with technology can be more intuitive, more private, and more accessible. Our goal is to make technology a natural extension of ourselves, empowering people to do more and be more.

We are proud to announce that we have secured significant funding, enabling us to take our vision to the next level. With this support, we have successfully built our first prototype equipped with neural-interface technology, which has received widespread recognition and accolades, including being named the CES '23 Best of Innovation Honoree and receiving the AcCESsability Award.

  • Our Vision

Over the past 30 years, we have expanded our human capabilities through digitalization.  This has made us more productive but our interfaces to interact with them haven’t kept up. Keyboards and mice, 30 years old inventions, have remained the standard & voice is still slow & not private.

With wearables becoming universal (e.g.: earphones, smart watches…) and the advent of AR/VR, our digital capabilities are poised to expand even faster and be even more integrated in our daily lives. We need to rethink how we interface with the digital world.

This is the problem we are solving at Wisear. We build the next-generation of human-machine interface. We record and analyze bioelectrical activity coming from the user's eyes (ElectroOculography), facial muscle (ElectroMyography) & brain (ElectroEncephalography) to transform it into high-speed, hands-free, silent & accessible controls.

Job Description

You will join the team as a Hardware Engineer intern, to participate in the next iterations on the prototype used to highlight the performances of algorithms developed by Wisear. The demonstration prototype consists in a pair of wireless earphones which integrate passive electrodes to measure EMG, EOG and EEG signals and the corresponding charging case.

Your main tasks will include :

  • Creation of specifications for the demonstration prototype
  • Design, manufacturing and testing of electrodes
  • Design and manufacturing of test benches
  • Creation and execution of performances and validation tests for the demonstration prototype

Preferred Experience

An engineering student, you are autonomous in the following areas :

  • CAD : mechanics
  • Prototyping : 3D printing, soldering
  • English : Conversational level required
  • Any skills in the following areas are a plus, but not mandatory :
  • CAD : electronics
  • Programmation : python, C++
  • Knowledge in biotechnologies and medical devices

You have strong theoretical background and you are not afraid of experimentations,
You are autonomous and deeply curious,
You have the same vigorous interest as we do for new technologies and the fascinating topic of human machine interfaces,
You are a “Maker”,

Then join us at Wisear !
