Makani Science is a medical device startup looking to reinvent respiratory monitoring. We're a small close-knit team looking to take our novel respiratory monitor through FDA clearance and to product launch.
Makani Science is reimagining how we monitor respiratory health with our novel sensor technology. Our wireless wearable system has been FDA cleared and is designed to deliver clinical-grade insights. We've received interest from world-class institutions like UCSF and Children’s Hospital of Orange County, and now we're growing our team to take our platform to the next level.
We’re hiring a hardware engineer who’s willing to roll up their sleeves and take the current device to commercialization and develop future prototypes. You should be curious, collaborative, and ready to work across disciplines. This is a great opportunity for an early-career engineer who wants to do meaningful work, learn quickly, and contribute directly to the development of an FDA-regulated medical device.
This is a full-time, hands-on role ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, resourceful startup environment where you’ll wear many hats, learn from experienced engineers, and have your work move from concept to clinic.
This position is located in Irvine, California.

The current gold standards for monitoring patient breathing are incredibly inaccurate and cumbersome. Makani Science has developed the first wearable and wireless respiratory monitor that can measure both rate and depth of breathing.
We use a novel sensor, originally developed in a university lab, that allows us to accurately track patient breathing using a small wearable patch. This will enable better respiratory monitoring, improving patient safety in and out of hospitals.
