The next four
we're bringing on.

As we move from prototype to FDA pre-submission, we're hiring across mechanical, regulatory, software, and operations.

Mechanical Engineer

Hiring · Full-time

Owns the next mechanism revision: spring force, fluid path, and the cartridge geometry that has to survive every drop and every degree.

Open role Hands-on auto-injector or medical-device hardware experience preferred.

Regulatory & Clinical Lead

Hiring · Contract or full-time

Drives the 510(k) submission end-to-end: predicate selection, performance testing protocol, and the Q-Sub meeting with FDA.

Open role Prior 510(k) submission experience for a Class II combination product strongly preferred.

iOS / Firmware Engineer

Hiring · Full-time

Ships the companion app and the firmware that talks to it. Owns Bluetooth LE, device state, and the moments first responders will rely on.

Open role Swift + embedded C / Rust, healthcare or medical-device app experience a plus.

Operations & Supply Lead

Hiring · Full-time

Stands up the manufacturing partner relationship, the BOM, and the path from pilot tooling to volume production.

Open role Hardware ops at a regulated startup, ideally Class II medical or wearables.

Build the device
people will trust with their lives.

We're early. The work is unglamorous before it's important. If you've shipped hardware or software inside a regulated company, or you've lived with the carrying problem yourself, we want to hear from you.

  • Send a short note about what you've shipped.
  • Tell us which open role you're aiming at, or pitch your own.
  • Mention anyone we should also talk to.
