Hardware Engineer

Tile has invented a simple and sleek location tracking app that can be used to track any item users don’t want to misplace. Users can place small, affordable Tiles on wallets, purses, computers, luggage, etc., allowing them to communicate within the world’s largest lost and found network.

We’re looking for an innovative, collaborative, and resourceful Hardware Engineer excited to helpcreate and advance the hardware of the world’s first massmarket consumer Internet of Things product, Tile. This handson tinkerer will have an impact on a global scale, making decisions that will allow hundreds of thousands of customers peace of mind knowing their valuables can be reliably tracked and found if misplaced. Currently Tile has created the world’s largest lost and found network, but the technology has a potential impact that is far, far greater, spanning transportation, healthcare, energy, and the connected home. Our Hardware Engineer will help bring that potential to reality, hopefully with a good sense of humor, a solid work ethic, and a sense of owning his or her own destiny.
