NPI Materials Manager, eero xPM Team

WiFi is the new electricity. Outside the smartphone, it’s the technology we depend on the most. The foundation for the modern home. The basement of Maslow’s pyramid. It makes our favorite experiences – Netflix, Spotify, Face Time – come to life. But at best, WiFi is like death by a thousand cuts: dead zones, painful setup, embarrassing passwords, equipment that’s a major eyesore.

At worst, it’s complete failure – usually right when you need WiFi most.

eero is fixing all of that. It’s not easy, which is why we’ve built a world-class team and culture. We believe deeply in what we’re doing, and, more importantly, enjoy doing it together. Come join us.
