Jobs at Afference, Inc.

Design, develop, test, and optimize embedded firmware for wearable haptic devices. Lead firmware architecture, hardware bring-up, integration, validation, debugging, and field updates. Collaborate with cross-functional teams, work with schematics/datasheets and lab equipment, support releases and continuous improvement, and produce technical documentation throughout product lifecycle.

Develop and execute hardware verification and validation test plans for wearable haptic devices. Perform functional, electrical, environmental, reliability, and system-level testing on prototypes and production hardware. Diagnose failures, run root-cause analysis, design automated test methods, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure product quality through EVT/DVT/PVT phases. Document results and provide technical recommendations to leadership.

Design, develop, test, and validate electrical hardware for wearable neural haptic devices. Lead system architecture, miniaturization, low-power design, EMI/ESD/EMC compliance, prototype development, and cross-functional integration. Create schematics, test plans, and documentation while troubleshooting, performing root-cause analysis, and supporting regulatory certification and vendor collaboration throughout the product lifecycle.

Support hardware integration, assembly, packaging, and development for wearable haptic devices. Use 3D CAD to design densely packaged consumer electronics, build prototypes, ensure manufacturability, support testing and troubleshooting, collaborate cross-functionally, and maintain engineering documentation to meet performance, cost, and schedule goals.

Design, verify, test, and support development of ASIC chips for wearable neural haptic devices. Collaborate with product teams, fabrication partners, and vendors; perform verification and board-level testing; troubleshoot design issues under senior guidance and contribute to project planning and delivery.

Lead and design experimental programs in wearable neural interfaces and neuromodulation, manage research staff, analyze complex data, collaborate with product and engineering teams, and translate neuroscience research into product-driving insights and human trials.
