About This Role:
We are seeking a Senior Embedded Systems Engineer to lead the firmware/software (FW/SW)
development of our wearable continuous molecular monitoring device as we prototype towards
our first product. This role focuses on designing, prototyping, and optimizing embedded systems
for low-power, wearable biosensors that integrate seamlessly with our proprietary molecular
sensing platform.
As a key team member, you will collaborate with cross-disciplinary scientists and engineers to
create high-performance embedded solutions, ensuring robust integration of hardware, firmware,
and software.
Responsibilities:
Lead the design, development, and prototyping of FW/SW systems for our wearable
biosensor platform.
Collaborate with hardware and software teams to integrate molecular sensing components
into a compact, low-power wearable platform.
Develop firmware for microcontrollers and low-power SoCs to support sensor operation
and data acquisition.
Develop software applications for interfacing with the biosensor system.
Conduct hardware testing, debugging, and performance tuning to optimize system
reliability and accuracy. Implement wireless communication interfaces (e.g., Bluetooth, BLE, or similar) to
transmit real-time data to companion devices.
Create and maintain detailed technical documentation, including schematics, design
specifications, and test procedures.
Stay current with emerging trends in wearable technology and embedded systems to
guide future development.
Required Qualifications:
BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
7+ years of experience developing FW/HW for low-power, compact devices.
Proficiency in C/C++ for embedded firmware development.
Strong understanding of hardware-software integration and experience with
microcontroller platforms (e.g., Nordic, ARM Cortex, STM32).
Experience with communication protocols such as SPI, I2C, UART, and Bluetooth/BLE.
Proficiency in software development for data analysis and visualization.
Experience with Python for data analysis and hardware validation.
Proficiency in bringing up, debugging and testing embedded hardware using tools like
oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and power meters.
Hands-on experience with PCB design, layout, and prototyping tools.
Familiarity with low-power circuit design and optimization techniques.
Strong organizational and problem-solving skills.
Self-starter with the ability to prioritize projects to meet deadlines.
Strong interpersonal skills and desire to collaborate on interdisciplinary projects within a
dynamic biotech startup environment.
Preferred Qualifications:
Experience developing hardware for wearable or biosensing devices.
Knowledge of analog front-end design for sensor integration.
Experience developing hardware and firmware for medical devices in compliance with
regulatory standards (e.g., FDA, ISO 13485) and DFM practices.
Familiarity with Design Control processes, including requirements management, risk
analysis (e.g., FMEA), and verification/validation testing.
Knowledge of IEC 60601 standards for electrical safety and performance of medical Devices
