“Building hardware is tough” is a sentence you are probably familiar with if you know what we are talking about. Creating medical-grade wearable devices is so complex that only a few companies have attempted it, and an even smaller percentage of them have succeeded; Empatica is proudly among the latter ones. If you are up to face such a challenge, Empatica is the right place for you!

Empatica is looking for a passionate and talented Industrialization Engineer ready to take on the challenge of ensuring that every device we ship meets the highest standards of quality.

• Create and maintain tools for production data analysis and performance monitoring.
• Improve production yield through root cause analysis of manufacturing failures.
• Collaborate with mechanical, electronics, and firmware engineers to continuously improve product design and manufacturing processes.

• Empatica operates in an international environment with offices in Europe, the US, and Korea. All work is conducted in English.

• We are operating a hybrid model where our employees choose whether to work from home or come to the office, however, please note that this position is not fully remote, and your in-office presence will be required on certain occasions.

• Are available to travel up to 20% to our headquarters in Boston/Seoul, with some irregular work hours to support overseas partners and co-workers;

You will join a fast-growing, international, and diverse team of 110+ talented people who care passionately about what we do and the difference we are making in the world.
