Summary 

We are a pioneering startup poised to revolutionize the supply chain by introducing groundbreaking serialization for products that have remained unchanged for decades. Our innovative approach involves developing the first-ever chip-less inventory tag, enabling the serialization of every product to streamline inventory management. Currently, we are seeking a motivated research engineer with expertise in research and development to support our scaling process. This role offers hands-on experience, direct involvement with our innovative engineering team, and an opportunity to contribute to the design process.

Despite our primary challenge of scalability, we have secured contracts with reputable companies such as GE and Brown-Forman, along with substantial funding and support from investors like Mark Cuban and the National Science Foundation. We need the assistance of a research engineer to support our RF research, manufacturing, and scalability of the world’s first chip-less RFID tag. This role will be directly involved in the research behind a product that is already in Fortune 700 companies with the next wave of companies being the biggest companies in the world including the US Military and Prime Contractors. 

The position is full time. Compensation includes equity, a highly competitive salary, paid moving expenses, and comprehensive benefits. Candidates will be paired with an expert in the field to mentor them and gain experience much faster than typical.
