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 own the physical experience of our wearable, the way it looks, the way it feels on the head, and the way it integrates into someone's life. Our first product is a sensor-rich textile beanie: a multi-camera array, a multi-microphone array, open-ear speakers, a high-density EEG sensor array, a flex PCB with multiple rigid islands, and an onboard battery, all of which must disappear into a soft, beautiful object that someone wants to wear in public for hours at a time.

What they're looking for

  • Must-Haves
  • 10+ years of industrial design and/or mechanical engineering, with multiple shipped consumer wearables or comparable body-worn products
  • Demonstrated experience integrating electronics into soft goods or textile products (apparel, headwear, garments, or wearables with significant fabric content)
  • Deep CAD proficiency (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Rhino, or equivalent) and rendering (Keyshot or comparable)
  • Strong instinct for comfort engineering: pressure points, weight, thermal, fit across diverse users, backed by structured wear testing and iteration
  • Experience driving DfM, tooling, and quality with overseas CMs
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.
