Hardware Exploratory

About the Team The Consumer Products team at OpenAI builds the hardware that brings advanced AI technology directly into people’s hands. We design, engineer, and manufacture next-generation consumer devices that combine elegant design, robust engineering, and cutting-edge AI. Our team spans mechanical, electrical, and systems engineering — partnering closely with industrial design, operations, and software to create seamless, high-quality experiences that make AI more accessible and useful. About the Role As a Hardware Engineer on the Consumer Products team, you’ll contribute to the design, development, and integration of complex hardware systems for new AI-driven devices. You’ll work across disciplines to translate early product concepts into reliable, scalable, and beautifully crafted products ready for mass production. This role is based in Singapore. We follow a hybrid model (four days per week in the office) and offer relocation support for new employees. Occasional travel to manufacturing partners may be required. In this role, you will: Design, prototype, and validate mechanical and electrical subsystems from early development through mass production. Collaborate closely with design, operations, and manufacturing teams to ensure quality, reliability, and scalability. Drive DFM/DFA reviews, design iterations, and bring-up of prototype and pilot builds. Debug complex system-level issues and lead root-cause investigations and resolutions. Partner with global suppliers and
