Founding Chemical/Materials Engineer — Tactile Sensing Hardware

Plureto is a pre-seed company focused on building tactile-sensing hardware that allows for capturing the sensation of touch. They are seeking a founding chemical/materials engineer to design and develop a fully-silicone, human-wearable glove that can transition from prototype to production.

Responsibilities:

• Help transition a lab-grade research glove into a manufacturable, scalable product
• Work directly with leading AI and robotics researchers to develop cutting-edge tactile sensors for frontier robotics
• Analyze the properties of different chemical mixtures and research viable substitutions

Requirements:

• Experience working with manufacturers on medium-to-large scale production (any field)
• Hands-on experience with PDMS-based sensors, and printed or laminated FPCs integrated into functional electronics
