The next ten years of AI will not be won in software. They will be won in the physical world. In factories, hospitals, kitchens, fields, and homes. The companies that own that data will own the century.

microagi is building it. We are the data layer for physical AI.

Cameras tell you what the hands did. They do not tell you how hard someone gripped or what fired first. You will own the analog sensing side of our capture devices. The front-end design that decides whether a signal is usable at all, on a device worn by someone who is moving all day.

This is the hardest signal-integrity problem in the building. Microvolt-scale signals, a moving subject, and no shielded room to hide in. We will go into the specifics of what we are measuring and why once we are talking.

What You Will Do

  • Design the analog front end for low-amplitude sensor signals. Contact, amplification, filtering, and conversion.
  • Fight noise. Motion artifacts, mains interference, poor sensor contact, and everything else that ruins a recording outside a lab.
  • Own signal quality metrics and the checks that flag a bad channel during a session rather than after it.
  • Synchronize sensor streams with video and IMU to a known and measured accuracy.
  • Work with research on what the signals can support, from gesture and force estimation to activation timing.
  • Validate the setup on real people doing real work, not on a bench with a test subject sitting still.
  • Take the design from bench prototype toward something that ships on every device.

Requirements

  • Strong analog electronics. Instrumentation amplifiers, low-noise design, filtering, grounding, shielding.
  • Experience acquiring microvolt-scale signals from sensors in contact with a moving subject.
  • ADC selection and mixed-signal PCB design, including the layout decisions that decide the noise floor.
  • Signal processing in Python or MATLAB.
  • You have recorded from real subjects and dealt with what goes wrong.
  • Comfortable owning a measurement chain end to end and being accountable for its quality.
  • High agency - you don't wait to be told what to do.
  • Fluent in English.
  • German is a plus.

Nice to Have

  • Wearable sensing products that shipped.
  • Decoding low-amplitude signals for gesture or force estimation.
  • Time synchronization across heterogeneous sensor streams.
  • Familiarity with medical device standards and biocompatibility.
