WHO WE ARE
At Auric, we’re not just building another smart device.We’re building a sensory revolution starting with scent.
Our flagship product, Aromasphere, is a sleek, AI-powered diffuser that uses biometric signals and essential oil blends to guide you into calm, focus, energy, or sleep — on demand.
We’re backed by early investors from Australia and the US, and we’ve just wrapped a national TV debut on The Block with hundreds of units sold in a matter of minutes.
We’re a small, ambitious crew working together to build something beautiful, functional, and full of soul.
THE ROLE
You’ll be joining our Melbourne-based operations and product testing crew right in the thick of both scale and invention.
We’ve already shipped hundreds of units, our platform is live, and the scent is in the air, but we’re not slowing down. This role is a hybrid between production testing and innovation R&D.; You’ll help validate our current hardware, support scale-up QA, and also help experiment with what comes next: new products, mechanisms, and user rituals.
It’s perfect for someone who loves building real-world things, is obsessive about how things feel, and thrives in the weird, magical space between engineering and experience.
WHAT YOU’LL WORK ON
Test and validate current Aromasphere units prior to shipping: scent delivery, smart cap integration, app connectivityRun hardware QA and performance testing (piezo diffusers, RFID caps, wicks, coils)Build, modify and manage 3D printed test rigsDevelop test plans and capture performance dataCollaborate with engineering on early R&D; for new scent delivery conceptsAssist in light assembly or packaging in key production runsHelp troubleshoot firmware + UX bugs with our app team
YOU MIGHT BE…
A 2nd or 3rd year Engineering student who builds more than they studyA maker who lives in CAD files, GPIO pinouts, and airflow chartsSomeone who lives in the loop — build → test → break → fix → improve
YOU SHOULD HAVE:
Experience with ESP32 or similar microcontrollersComfort with firmware testing, serial logging, and basic electrical debuggingFamiliarity with FreeRTOS or low-level task schedulingBonus points for: Webflow, Zapier, Claude Code, or other low-code / AI dev toolsA startup mindset: scrappy, curious, rapid to learn, and calm in chaos
WHAT YOU GET
A front-row seat to real product development from lab to living roomThe chance to influence both the now and next of Auric’s product roadmapWork with a crew that values beautiful builds and soulful experiencesDaily immersion in scent, mood, wellness, and clean product designA chance to be part of something meaningful — and just getting started
