Job description

We are building GiVa™ HI Smart Glasses, an assistive wearable focused on real-time speech-to-text captioning. This role owns the embedded architecture and the integration layer between audio capture, processing, display, connectivity, power and user controls.

Team Hardware

Experience 6-8 years

Engagement Full-time or contract

Location Delhi / NCR preferred

Stage Architecture, bench prototypes and hardware-software integration

What you will work on

• Define the overall embedded-system architecture for the smart glasses.
• Evaluate and select MCU, processor or SBC, microphones and audio front-end, display module, battery and charging architecture, connectivity modules, sensors and user-input components.
• Prepare component comparisons, interface maps, system block diagrams and preliminary BoMs.
• Build and validate early bench prototypes.
• Develop embedded application logic in C/C++ and Python where required.
• Integrate microphones, display, buttons, indicators, sensors, battery monitoring and connectivity.
• Build the device data flow from audio input and preprocessing through the speech-to-text engine to caption rendering and display output.
• Develop and integrate peripheral communication using I2C, SPI, UART, USB-C, BLE and Wi-Fi.
• Coordinate with the AI team to integrate cloud-based or on-device speech-to-text systems.
• Optimise for low latency, low power, thermal performance, reliable operation and compact wearable integration.
• Develop firmware and software modules for device operation, connectivity and user interaction.
• Support power-state management, charging logic, wake/sleep behaviour and battery optimisation.
• Work with the PCB designer on schematics, board layout requirements and hardware interfaces.
• Support hardware bring-up, debugging, validation and prototype troubleshooting.
• Develop test scripts, debugging utilities and prototype integration tools.
• Maintain system architecture, interface definitions, code documentation and integration records.
• Support design-for-manufacturing and future production-readiness activities.

Ideal profile

• 6-8 years in embedded systems covering both hardware and software integration.
• Proficiency in C/C++ and working knowledge of Python.
• Experience with platforms such as ESP32, STM32, Nordic Semiconductor, Raspberry Pi, embedded Linux or similar MCU and application-processor systems.
• Knowledge of microcontrollers, power management, batteries, audio electronics and display interfaces.
• Experience with RTOS or embedded operating environments such as FreeRTOS, Zephyr or embedded Linux.
• Understanding of audio capture, audio streaming, BLE/Wi-Fi communication and peripheral integration.
• Experience with hardware debugging using oscilloscopes, logic analysers, multimeters and bench power supplies.
• Ability to work with early-stage prototype hardware and evolving product requirements.
• Experience in wearables, audio devices, IoT products, medical devices or consumer electronics is preferred.
• Understanding of compact, low-power and thermally constrained product design is highly desirable.

Preferred tools

KiCad, Altium Designer, LTspice, VS Code, PlatformIO, STM32CubeIDE, ESP-IDF, Zephyr, FreeRTOS, Git, Linux, oscilloscope, logic analyser and bench power supply.
