RTL Design & Integration Engineer | SoC & ASIC Development
Build the next generation of ultra-low-power, brain-inspired compute systems powered by Wi-R.
On-site – Bengaluru, India | Competitive salary + bonus + early equity
We provide comprehensive relocation support for engineers based outside Bengaluru.
About IxanaIxana is a Purdue University spinoff pioneering brain-inspired wearable computing. We've developed Wi-R, a patented communication tech that's 100x more energy-efficient than Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Join our 60-person team building the next era of real-time, AI-powered human-computer interaction.
The Wi-R Revolution
Wi-R is our patented non-radiative near-field communication technology that creates secure "wire-like wireless" experiences through small E-field bubbles around your body. This breakthrough enables unprecedented energy efficiency at sub-0.1 nanojoules per bit, making long-term wearable and implantable devices finally practical.
