Job Title: Scrum Master Department: Strategic Initiatives

Exempt Status: Full-time, Exempt Supervisor: Chief of Staff

What if we could interact with the digital world just as naturally as we interact with the physical world?

Offering the world’s first washable, stretchable circuits and strain sensors, Liquid Wire brings game changing new capabilities to wearable technology. Unlike conventional flex circuitry, Liquid Wire’s fluid-phase Metal Gel conductor stretches with the body’s movements and reflows back into place without harming device performance. Not only can Liquid Wire circuits host any technology that a traditional PCB can, each stretchable Metal Gel trace also acts as a highly effective linear strain sensor. This allows incredibly precise 3D motion capture anywhere on the body, with circuits so thin and stretchable they are essentially unnoticeable to the wearer.
