I’m the founder of a profitable consumer hardware brand in the lifestyle / design space. We are currently exploring a next-generation premium wearable product and are looking for a US-based senior engineer or product designer to help assess feasibility and quietly develop the technical foundation.
This is not a rushed MVP or novelty product. The goal is to evaluate and design a high-quality, rechargeable wearable device with a minimal, intentional feature set and long-term durability.
The right person would be able to work end-to-end.
This project will begin with private feasibility discussions under NDA, followed by phased technical exploration over several months.
⸻
What we’re exploring
• A wearable ring form factor
• Rechargeable internal power system
• Low-intensity, LED functionality
• Waterproof / daily-wear durability
• Premium materials and fit
• Thoughtful on/off or interaction method
Detailed design and aesthetics will be shared only after NDA.
⸻
What I’m looking for
• US-based (required)
• Experience shipping consumer hardware or wearables
• Strong understanding of:
• Miniaturized electronics
• Rechargeable power systems
• Waterproofing / sealing
• Mechanical + electrical integration
• Comfortable advising on:
• Feasibility vs. risk
• Manufacturing approaches
• Iteration strategy
• Able to collaborate quietly and thoughtfully (this is not a public project)
⸻
Engagement & compensation
• Initial engagement: paid consultation / feasibility
• Longer-term collaboration possible
• Open to:
• Hourly
• Milestone-based
• Royalty or incentive-aligned structure for the right fit
This is an opportunity to help shape a product from first principles rather than execute someone else’s spec.

Next steps
Please include:
• Relevant past hardware projects
• Your role in those projects (concept, engineering, manufacturing, etc.)
• Any experience with wearables or miniaturized electronics
• Confirmation that you are US-based and open to signing an NDA
