Are you excited about electronics, embedded systems, and software integration? Do you want to shape the future of smart wearables? At Trace, we are developing an innovative wearable tracking service - our first product is a smart ring that alerts users via vibration when a valuable item moves beyond a preset boundary.

Now, we’re looking for a Technical Lead with a background in electronics engineering or embedded software development, who also has experience in hardware/software integration. This is a project-based position with the potential to grow into a CTO and/or Co-founder role.


Who Are We Looking For?

We are searching for a candidate with strong skills in at least one of the following areas:

  • Electronics development: Component selection, circuit design, PCB layout, and prototyping.

  • Embedded software: Programming for microcontrollers, firmware development, and low-power optimization.

  • Wireless communication: Experience with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and low-power connectivity solutions.

  • Software integration: Ensuring seamless communication between hardware and mobile applications.

  • Wearable technology experience (preferred but not required).


We understand that candidates may have strengths in either electronics or software - if you have expertise in one area and curiosity and willingness to grow in the other, we encourage you to apply!

Most importantly, we need someone who is entrepreneurial, hands-on, and ready for a challenge.


Where Are We Now?

  • Backed by innovation funding.

  • Collaborating with leading industry experts.

  • Clear roadmap: In 10 months, we will have 5 identical prototypes ready for user testing and pilot production.


What We Offer:

  • Project-based role with the opportunity to evolve into a CTO / Co-founder position.

  • Work from KEA Startup Hub in Copenhagen, a vibrant entrepreneurial community.

  • Compensation: Symbolic stipend (~5,000 DKK/month) + potential for equity and future salary.
