Garment / NMES Engineer / Designer

About the role

This role owns Gynesis garment design in-house, including construction, electrode integration, fit, and durability. It also involves resolving design questions, driving material and construction decisions, validating wash/wear durability, and capturing design rationale.

Responsibilities

• Own the design of the Gynesis therapeutic garment in-house — construction, electrode placement and sizing, and electrode-to-fabric integration.
• Resolve open design questions and their impact on fit, fabric selection, connector layout, durability, and cost (COGS).
• Drive material and construction decisions, including their intellectual-property implications.
• Own fit and sizing across the product range and validate wash/wear durability through structured testing.
• Build and run benchtop and prototype test plans to characterize therapy delivery (waveform, current density, electrode performance) before in-person testing.
• Direct contract-manufacturer NRE and rapid prototype-to-test cycles in partnership with our clinical advisor; own manufacturability and design transfer.
• Capture design rationale, DFMEA, and risk documentation in the Design History File (DHF); protect the construction IP behind Caldera's patent estate.
• Explore adjacent garment configurations as the platform matures.

Requirements

Technical-apparel / wearable e-textile engineering experience with electrode integration. Garment construction, fit/grading, and durability-testing experience. Comfortable directing contract manufacturers and running rapid prototype→test loops. IP awareness around construction and materials choices — able to recognize and help protect patentable design decisions. Ownership mindset — able to drive an ambiguous, unresolved technical problem to a working, testable solution. NMES / bioelectronics exposure a plus.
