Ixana

**About Ixana** Ixana is a Purdue University spinoff pioneering brain-inspired wearable computing. We've developed Wi-R, a patented communication tech that's 100x more energy-efficient than Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Join our 60-person team building the next era of real-time, AI-powered human-computer interaction. _We provide comprehensive relocation support for candidates based outside Bengaluru._ **The Wi-R Revolution** Wi-R is our patented non-radiative near-field communication technology that creates secure "wire-like wireless" experiences through small E-field bubbles around your body. This breakthrough enables unprecedented energy efficiency at sub-0.1 nanojoules per bit, making long-term wearable and implantable devices finally practical. See Wi-R in Action: High-speed data, transferred through skin contact - Demonstration of Wi-R communication **What You’ll Do** - Write bare-metal C/C++ firmware to interface MCUs with sensors and Wi-R chips. - Lead embedded software development for Wi-R reference devices like smartglasses, smartwatches, earbuds, EEG/EMG nodes, and more. - Build, test, and debug low-level embedded code on custom hardware platforms. - Integrate and optimize communication protocols I2C, SPI, BLE for wearable use cases. - Work closely with hardware and system engineers to iterate on design and bring-up. - Help shape and contribute to the new Wi-R embedded software standard.
