Lead Groundbreaking Analog/Mixed-Signal Tapeouts for Next-Gen Wearables | Join the core team designing custom RF/mixed-signal silicon that powers the Wi-R revolution.

Bengaluru, India (In Office)Full-time

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.
