About this role
The Head of Hardware Engineering leads Spacecurve’s industrial design and engineering work for robotics-adjacent interior and lifestyle products. The role sits at the intersection of high-end industrial design, mechanical engineering, and product manufacturing, covering products such as flying lamps and other technology-enabled home objects. It owns the path from early proof-of-concept prototypes through market release and mass production.
The work combines team leadership with hands-on engineering. Responsibilities include integrating traditional and advanced manufacturing methods, applying knowledge of material properties with an emphasis on metal and glass, and setting up an efficient hardware workshop with equipment such as laser-welding stations and CNC machines. The role also addresses product stability, maintainability, repair, and regulatory certification; the posting separately identifies embedded systems, server backend, iOS, and electronics integration as additional CTO-related requirements.
Applicants need experience leading engineering teams, releasing difficult-to-make products with broad appeal, working across manufacturing methods and materials, establishing hardware workshop operations, and handling legal regulations and certifications.
