Job Description:
About IxanaIxana is a Purdue University spinoff pioneering brain-inspired wearable computing. We’ve developed Wi-R, a patented communication tech that’s 100x more energy-efficient than Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Join our 60-person team building the next era of real-time, AI-powered human-computer interaction. We provide relocation packages and visa transfer support (if required) for candidates based in the San Francisco Bay Area and other major U.S. hubs.\u00a0The Wi-R RevolutionWi-R is our patented non-radiative near-field communication technology that creates secure “wire-like wireless” experiences through small E-field bubbles around your body. This breakthrough enables unprecedented energy efficiency at sub-0.1 nanojoules per bit, making long-term wearable and implantable devices finally practical.See Wi-R in Action: High-speed data, transferred through skin contact – Demonstration of Wi-R communication\u00a0What You\u2019ll DoPerform high-precision micro-soldering, re-balling, and SMT-level rework on prototype PCBs
