Senior Embedded Software Engineer

Company Ixana is developing an electronic brain to augment our biological brain. We are investing in some major technological breakthroughs to make this happen: ultra-low power communication (50x lower than BLE), ultra-low power sensing, and computation (<100 micro-watt keyword detection, object detection, imager, and speech transcription among others).

We are assembling a team of the leading experts in the field of IC/system design/computer vision/ hardware engineers with an appetite for taking on the next big thing. We are backed by well known Venture Capital firms and corporate VCs. Come join us in the journey of transforming the future. Ixana is a VC backed, fast-growing, stealth-mode startup with a unique IP that enables us to transmit data at 50X lower power than Bluetooth at iso data rate.

We are a fabless system-on-chip product company, on a mission to develop a wearable electronic brain with input from distributed sensors like camera, microphones, body monitors etc. Team And Role Overview Ixana is looking for a talented embedded software engineer to join a rapidly growing space startup. As a member of the Integrated Software team, you will help build low-level software for wearables.

This position is for our West Lafayette, IN office. The position can be remote, but requires at least a weekly office visit.
