About Omi

We wire humans into AI. Our audio necklace is already shipping; smart-glasses with an on-device brain-interface come next. Demand isn’t the problem—output is. We need a builder who lives for factory output, supplier pings at 3 a.m., and the smell of working 3D printers

What you’ll do

Run a factory in SF

Hit the numbers

Q3: 5 000 Omi units in the U.S.

Q4: ramp to 30 k; 2026 target: 200 k.

Source every component—Li-Po, PCBs, plastics

China push trips when a supplier needs a face on the line.

Build the team: recruit techs, SMT operators, incoming‑QC contractors.

You’re right for this if

You’ve taken at least one consumer product to ≥1 000 shipped units (wearable, IoT, CE, robotics—volume matters).

Can read a BOM and know the broker who’ll overnight the hard‑to‑find part.

Comfortable leading line techs on Monday and hand‑soldering rework on Tuesday.

Thrive in a 6‑day, in‑person startup shop; get restless without high throughput.

Compensation

1 % – 5 % equity

— real eight‑figure upside on exit

$100 k – $200 k salary

(experience‑indexed)

Free housing, food, and 24/7 warehouse lab access

Why Omi

Units already sell out; your work is the growth gate.

Zero bureaucracy: you’re the first ops lead—total ownership.

Next challenge after necklace: smart‑glasses with BCI—hardware history in the making.
