AI-powered vision screening kiosks for automated eyeglass prescriptions
Eyebot operates a hardware-software platform—Jetson + Raspberry Pi + Python + C++—that automates vision screening and prescription generation in kiosk form. The hiring mix reflects a company mid-scaling: engineering dominates, but they're simultaneously building out healthcare, manufacturing, quality, and finance functions, alongside active FDA and EU MDR regulatory tracks. Pain points cluster around kiosk automation accuracy, manufacturing scale, and compliance infrastructure, suggesting they're transitioning from prototype to regulated medical device.
Eyebot develops automated vision screening kiosks designed to deliver eyeglass prescriptions in minutes without a licensed eye doctor present. The company targets the gap between growing demand for vision care and limited eye care professional availability. Their platform runs on embedded systems (Jetson, Raspberry Pi) and uses computer vision and AI to measure optical parameters and generate prescriptions. The business operates in the United States and is moving toward EU market entry. They are subject to FDA regulation as a medical device and are actively developing quality management systems and regulatory strategy to support both US and international approvals.
Python and C++ for software; Jetson and Raspberry Pi for embedded hardware; Onshape, SolidWorks, and Fusion 360 for mechanical design; Zendesk for support; Google Workspace and Slack for operations.
FDA compliance and QMS development in the US; EU MDR and UKCA regulatory strategy for international expansion. Regulatory approval is listed as a top pain point and active project.
