Senior Automation Systems Engineer

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.
