Co-Founder & CTO (Equity Only, Pre-Funding, US Only) – Marine IoT / Embedded Systems


Stealth Startup (US) — What We’re Building


A cybersecure marine telematics system to prevent outboard motor theft and unauthorized vessel use using:

  • Dual-threshold GNSS geofencing + velocity gating (reduced false alarms)
  • IMU / vibration / tamper / shore-power loss triggers
  • Encrypted low-power mesh + LTE/5G/NB-IoT (or satellite)
  • Backup power failover + secure remote immobilization
  • Cloud alerts + forensic telemetry (marinas, fleets, insurers)
  • Stealth mode. Full details under NDA.


The Role (Equity Only)


You are the founding CTO. You own the full stack:

  • Marine hardware + embedded firmware (low-power, secure boot, OTA)
  • GNSS+IMU sensor fusion + mesh networking
  • AWS IoT backend (microservices/Kubernetes) + mobile app interface
  • FCC/CE pathway and manufacturing/ECM partnerships
  • IP/patent strategy support
  • No salary. No consulting. Founder commitment only.


Ideal Fit


  • 10+ years embedded/IoT leadership
  • Shipped secure connected devices end-to-end
  • GNSS/IMU + low-power wireless/mesh experience
  • AWS IoT + scalable backend experience
  • US-based (required)
