Imagine what your life would look like if you couldn’t travel independently. How would you go to school, work or visit your friends and family? Every single day, this is a problem experienced by millions of people around the world with a severe visual impairment. It is our goal to break down this barrier by developing the technology that will allow people with visual impairments to travel independently, participate in society and live the life they want to live.

This is why we started Luna, a startup that is utilizing the latest developments in augmented reality display technology and computer vision to create small form factor augmented reality glasses for people with visual impairments. We have an interdisciplinary development team that includes engineers, designers and vision specialists. Together, we are bringing this dream to life through the development of intuitive products that improve the quality of life of our users. We have just finished development and certification of our first product and are looking to expand our team to make the next version of our glasses and bring it to mass-production.

Are you passionate about leveraging cutting edge technology to make a profound difference in people's lives? If so, we are looking for a Lead Engineer to help us create augmented reality glasses to support people with visual impairments.

In this role, you will lead the end-to-end development of innovative products, translating customer needs into system requirements and a robust system architecture.
