About OptiSigns
OptiSigns is a fast-scaling cloud platform powering digital signage for 35,000+ businesses across 100+ countries, with 200,000+ active screens worldwide.
Founded in Houston, Texas in 2016 and now expanding aggressively in Asia and Europe, we help companies transform ordinary screens into powerful, dynamic communication tools. Our Vietnam engineering team is central to our next phase of growth.
Why This Role
This is not a typical engineer role.
We are seeking a Chinese-speaking Staff Hardware/Embedded/Firmware Engineer to relocate to either Houston, Texas, USA, or Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and lead our growing engineering hub.. This is a hands-on technical leadership role, with real ownership over both system scalability and team development.
We are developing the next generation of our Digital Signage Player and are looking for an experienced HW/Embedded Engineer to lead platform evaluation and development of the next generation products.
This role will work closely with Tier 1 and Tier 2 OEM/ODM partners to deliver a production-ready device that serves as a drop-in replacement for our current enclosure.
