About Sabi

The first neural interface that transforms your thoughts into text. No typing. No voice. Just Think. Backed by Khosla.

About the role

You will be the founding electrical engineering hire at Sabi, owning the full electrical architecture of our wearable from schematic through ramp. The first device packs a multi-camera array, a multi-microphone spatial audio array, a high-density EEG sensor array, Wi-Fi/BLE, and intelligent power management onto a flex PCB inside a textile beanie.

What they're looking for

  • Must-Haves
  • 10+ years designing complex consumer hardware, with at least one shipped product (wearable, audio, mobile, or comparable)
  • Deep mixed-signal expertise across MCU systems, sensor AFEs, audio DSPs, image sensor interfaces, RF/wireless, and battery/charging
  • Strong SI/PI discipline with hands-on sign-off on flex and rigid-flex multi-island designs
  • Direct experience architecting and validating multi-MCU communication buses — parallel and serial interfaces, inter-processor links
  • Direct experience driving part selection, BOM ownership, and second-source strategy on a shipped product
More about this role

We're a small team solving one of the hardest problems in human-computer interaction: a noninvasive wearable that turns thought into text, no surgery required.

By pairing ultra-high-density neural sensing with our Brain Foundation Model, we decode neural signals with a fidelity once reserved for implants. Our mission is to give a billion people a direct link between mind and machine - expanding how humans think, communicate, and create.

We are building a next-generation AI companion wearable powered by EEG/BCI technology. Our device reads and responds to neural signals in real time, creating a deeply personal experience that adapts to each user. This is not another productivity tool or a gadget — it is a new category of technology built around human potential.

We are backed by strong investors, moving fast, and assembling a world-class team to bring this to market. If you thrive at the frontier of what’s possible and want to build something that genuinely changes how people interact with their own minds, we want to talk to you.
