Our team is kind, enthusiastic, and motivated. We also think they’re some of the best engineers, researchers and designers on the planet. The team covers the whole engineering stack and includes mechanical engineers, electronic and electrical engineers, firmware and software engineers, bioengineers and even a physicist. With expertise spanning a multitude of disciplines and experience spanning even more companies and industries, it’s rare that we start a new project without hearing “I’ve done that before” from one of the team.
