About Hark

We're pairing that intelligence with next-generation hardware to create a universal interface between humans and machines. While today's AI largely operates through chat boxes and decade-old devices, Hark is focused on what comes next: agentic systems that interact naturally with people and the real world.

To get there, we're developing multimodal models and next-generation AI hardware together - designed from the ground up as a single, unified interface for a new era of intelligent systems.

About the Role

Hark is an artificial intelligence company building advanced, personalized intelligence. One that is proactive, multimodal, and capable of interacting with the world through speech, text, vision, and persistent memory. We are pairing that intelligence with next-generation hardware to create a universal interface between humans and machines. Rather than focusing on a single layer of the AI stack, we are building foundation models, software systems, and native hardware together from the start.

Responsibilities

End-to-End Certification: Lead global carrier and regulatory certification programs (including FCC, ISED, CE RED, UKCA, PTCRB, and GCF) from early product definition through commercial launch.
Regulatory Compliance: Manage launch readiness for wireless, safety, EMC, RF exposure, SAR/MPE, and country-specific type approvals.
Strategic Partner Engagement: Build and manage technical relationships with global mobile carriers, test labs, certification bodies, and chipset vendors to understand test plans and drive lab/field testing.
Cross-Functional Execution: Partner closely with hardware, software, RF, modem, QA, and product teams to triage testing issues, close certification blockers, and ensure commercial launch readiness.
Market Expansion: Translate operator requirements (4G/5G, VoLTE, eSIM, carrier aggregation, roaming) into product roadmaps and engineering execution plans to support entry into new markets.
Process Scaling: Establish repeatable processes, compliance matrices, risk-tracking frameworks, and executive dashboards to manage complex certification schedules across multiple products simultaneously.

Requirements

Education: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Telecommunications, CS, or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience).
Experience: 8+ years in technical program management, carrier/regulatory certification, or wireless engineering.
Product Expertise: Proven track record of successfully launching connected consumer electronics, IoT devices, wearables, or other carrier-connected hardware globally.
Technical Fluency: Deep understanding of wireless technologies (4G LTE, 5G NSA/SA, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GNSS) and network interoperability.
Communication & Leadership: Exceptional ability to distill complex technical risks for executive reporting, influence teams without formal authority, and hold external partners accountable in ambiguous environments.
