San Diego, California, United States Simplexity Product Development Full time

Simplifying the Complex. Simplexity is a product development engineering firm, hired by leading technology companies to design their next generation products. In an industry of overly-complex design and production, we strive for simplicity, reducing product cost and improving reliability for our clients through our Product Development Process.

Why join Simplexity Product Development?
If you're an engineer who likes variety in your job, you'll fit right in here. Simplexity works across a breadth of projects — from robotics and IoT to medical devices, consumer wearables, automation and more.

Our teams are tight, collaborative, and made up of folks who genuinely want to build something cool and delight our customers.  Yet that doesn't mean grinding for 60-hours per week, week-over-week.  We believe that quality, creative work can usually be done in 40-45 hours per week and that each employee should own their work-life balance.

What we offer is meaningful engineering, technical growth, and the chance to be on the "front line" of product development.  If you thrive on variety and want to work with talented engineers on cutting-edge products, then this could be the place for you.
