About the job
About Hark
Hark is at the forefront of artificial intelligence, dedicated to developing sophisticated, personalized intelligence systems that are proactive, multimodal, and able to engage with the world through speech, text, vision, and persistent memory.
Our mission is to combine this intelligence with cutting-edge hardware, creating a seamless interface between humans and machines. While current AI technologies often rely on chat boxes and outdated devices, Hark is paving the way for the future with agentic systems that interact intuitively with people and their surroundings.
To achieve this vision, we are designing multimodal models and next-gen AI hardware as a cohesive, unified interface for a new era of intelligent systems.
About the Role
We are seeking a Principal Embedded OS Architect to lead our operating system strategy and software architecture for our consumer electronics product line, overseeing the journey from initial architecture to mass production. You will serve as the technical leader, responsible for defining the structure of our embedded software stacks, ensuring their scalability across our product range, and optimizing performance. This role encompasses hands-on systems engineering as well as strategic technical leadership and team development — you will influence architectural decisions while remaining connected to the code and hardware. Collaborate closely with hardware, firmware, applications, and program management teams to ensure alignment from new product introduction to ongoing production.
