Nia Therapeutics
Direct message the job poster from Nia Therapeutics
At Nia Therapeutics, we are engineering solutions at the frontier of neuroscience to make memory loss reversible.
We are a team of scientists and engineers developing advanced implantable brain stimulation devices to reverse memory loss from brain injury and degenerative disease. Our core technology, developed at the University of Pennsylvania and funded by DARPA, is built on a foundation of human clinical studies that demonstrate its efficacy. This is a rare opportunity to help develop a product that will not only improve patient lives but also redefine what's possible in neural engineering.
Job Summary
We are looking for an exceptional
junior embedded software engineer
to join our team in building our smart neuromodulation platform for memory restoration. The successful applicant will play a key role in developing and enhancing the firmware for our implantable and wearable devices, including the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) interface with a patient-facing mobile application. This will shape how patients interact with the world’s first memory-restoring implantable device.
What You Will Do
Develop embedded firmware in C to support BLE communication between an implantable device and mobile apps Design and implement custom GATT services and characteristics to enable secure, low-latency data exchange Support real-time signal processing, sensor interfaces, and closed-loop control logic Contribute to the design of system-level communication protocols across implant, wearable, and cloud platforms Help build automated test systems for wireless and embedded functionality
Required Qualifications
BS in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science Strong programming skills in C for embedded systems 2+ years professional or project experience working on embedded systems Hands-on experience developing and debugging BLE firmware, including custom profiles and characteristics Understanding of BLE stack behavior (advertising, connection parameters, bonding, encryption) Comfortable working with microcontroller toolchains, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers Ability to read datasheets and electrical schematics and develop device drivers Strong troubleshooting, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills
Preferred Skills
Experience with ST or Nordic microcontrollers RTOS based firmware development (e.g. FreeRTOS, Zephyr) Hands-on experience developing and debugging Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) communication protocols, including creating custom GATT services and characteristics Experience integrating mobile applications with embedded firmware, ensuring robust and reliable data exchange Experience developing active implantable medical devices, medical device quality systems, standards (e.g. ISO-14708) and risk management activities (e.g. FMEA) Proficiency in cross-platform (Android, iOS) mobile application development Broad circuit design experience including analog, digital, power supply and comms functions Setting up and maintaining testing environments for hardware and software systems
OUR CULTURE
This position is 5 days per week in person based in Boston, MA. We’re a small team tackling big challenges. We move quickly, think rigorously, and care deeply about the impact of our work. If you’re excited by the idea of helping build a product that integrates
neuroscience, embedded systems, and mobile UX , and you’re eager to grow in a fast-paced startup, we’d love to meet you. Seniority level
