INR 45 - 75 LPA + equity.
Engagement
Full-Time
Permanent role. Full-time commitment. Primarily on-site, with limited remote flexibility.
Scope of role
Set direction within your domain. Build and mentor a team. Own outcomes at the function level.
01 — The role
Why this role exists at EduRankAI
Own the holographic display surface that AquinTutor is being designed around. You will lead the optics, the display pipeline, and the rendering systems for a custom holographic device that turns a textbook diagram into something a learner can walk around. This is a hardware-software-optics role at the intersection of three disciplines. You will not be doing one of them — you will be leading the team that does all three. We will work with manufacturing partners on the physical device; you will own the engineering doctrine end-to-end.
02 — The work
What you will own
- 01 Own the holographic display product line jointly with the hardware-R&D team.
- 02 Lead optics, display electronics, and rendering pipeline engineering.
- 03 Set the visual-fidelity bar (resolution, FOV, brightness, latency, viewing angles).
- 04 Hire Senior optical engineers, display engineers, and graphics engineers.
- 05 Partner with manufacturing on yield and cost-down.
- 06 Defend the learning case for the display every quarter.
