BRELYON is a series A startup (https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/brelyon) introducing the first-ever headset-free virtual displays to replace multi-monitors in high bandwidth applications like gaming and trading. (See video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkP4JF5X6Fc)

Our technology uses novel physics along with computational display techniques to create depth and panorama, creating an IMAX-like experience in a 32” monitor form factor. We are enhancing the human-computer experience with a product design that jointly considers light and the visual experience of displays. Therefore, we offer rendering software to enhance immersion in enterprise, automotive, and entertainment applications.

We are looking for a self-leading, passionate, yet highly disciplined individual to join this journey with us. We expect you to thrive in a fast-paced environment with the “can-do” mindset and delivery and magnetism that helps us build a team around you and with you. Your superpower should generate reliable mechanical solutions that take products through phases from CAD to prototype, to production. Our optical engineers, industrial designers and prototypes will be your teammates.

This role is on site in our Silicon Valley office and part of our R&D team and will report directly to the Associate Director of Product.

We are seeking an energetic, technically minded, and relentless Technical Sales Engineer to join our team full-time on-site in San Mateo, CA. In this high-velocity role, you will drive top-of-funnel growth through aggressive outbound email campaigns, manage active client accounts, and lead technical pre-sales or account management efforts.

You will bridge the gap between our cutting-edge optical hardware/software and enterprise clients—running multi-channel outreach, representing Brelyon at major industry conferences, conducting live product demonstrations, and managing the end-to-end follow-up cycle to close program integration deals.
