About the role

Looking for a founding engineer to join our MIT Startup (YC P26) (high ownership and meaningful equity)

Product: Real-time detection & localization of water/gas leaks in complex distribution systems
Location: Zurich (+ partly in San Francisco)

Requirements:

• ⁠ Builder mindset: built and shipped a full-stack hardware + software product end to end, ideally from prototype to scale.
  •⁠ ⁠Startup mindset: high ownership, fast iteration, willing to go deep on hardware today and pivot to data problems tomorrow.
  •⁠ ⁠IoT and connectivity: LoRaWAN, experience in scaling fleet of deployed devices.
  •⁠ ⁠Embedded / edge + low power: sensor data processing, low-power IoT
  •⁠ ⁠ML for time-series: anomaly detection on sensor data, feature engineering, model training and deployment.

What you’ll work on:

• ⁠ ⁠Work closely with our CTO on tech strategy, sensing, architecture, and the path from prototype to scaled product
  •⁠ ⁠⁠Fast hardware prototyping and structured testing
  •⁠ ⁠⁠Real world deployments for customers
  •⁠ ⁠⁠Data Processing and ML

About AquaShield

AquaShield protects large real estate portfolios against water damage, the biggest cause of insurance claims. The system retrofits into existing buildings, learns each building’s unique water consumption pattern, and detects leaks down to the pipe segment, before they turn into major damage.
