In this early‑stage environment, we seek versatile team members with a hands‑on approach and a willingness to learn quickly and adapt. We value diversity and encourage applicants from all backgrounds to join us in our mission. Learn about our team here ! We are building our Product Development Team and looking for a Senior Electronics/Embedded Engineer to design and build the next generation of implantable neurotechnology, focusing on both the high‑performance electronics and the firmware that make neural interfaces and stimulation systems work. You will tackle complex hardware‑software challenges, innovate at the edge of neuroscience and medical devices, and help bring transformative technologies from lab to clinic. This is a highly hands‑on role where you will prototype, test, and refine hardware and firmware in a fast‑paced R&D environment Key Responsibilities Own critical elements of the design, development, and integration of mixed‑signal electronics and embedded firmware for implantable neurotechnology systems. Architect and implement low‑level firmware (C/C++/RTOS) including drivers, real‑time data acquisition, stimulation control, and communication stacks. Design and validate analog circuits, optical circuits, low‑noise amplifiers, power management modules, and digital interfaces. Own board bring‑up and hardware/firmware integration testing-debug complex interactions using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG/SWD, and custom test rigs. Develop automated firmware/hardware test frameworks for benchtop, in‑vitro, and preclinical environments. Optimize electronics and firmware for low power, low noise, and high‑bandwidth data transfer with long‑term reliability. Collaborate closely with engineering teams on interface definitions and architectural decisions. Document firmware and electronics architecture, design decisions, interface specifications, and verification results under design control and QMS. Mentor junior engineers and help build a high‑performance embedded and electronics team. Required Qualifications and Skills Bachelor's or Master's in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Embedded Systems, or equivalent. 5+ years of experience developing mixed‑signal hardware and embedded firmware for complex devices. Expertise in C/C++, RTOS development (FreeRTOS/Zephyr/QNX), and hardware‑oriented programming. Bonus if familiarity extends to FPGA based embedded systems. Strong experience with low‑noise circuit design, ADCs/DACs, stimulation circuits, power management, and sensor integration. Strong MCU background, including peripheral configuration, DMA, interrupts, and real‑time constraints. Demonstrated ability to bring up new PCBs and debug cross‑disciplinary issues (electrical, firmware, timing, signal integrity). Experience with ECAD tools (Altium, Cadence) and a strong understanding of PCB design constraints. Familiarity with communication interfaces (SPI, I2C, UART, BLE, custom optical/RF). Familiarity with ISO 13485, IEC 60601, or other relevant standards. Strong documentation, safety‑first mindset, and ability to work within a regulated medical development environment. Strong communication skills and ability to work collaboratively in a interdisciplinary environment. Adaptability to fast‑paced research with dynamic priorities. Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills. Bonus Skills Experience with programming FPGA embedded systems (Verilog). Knowledge of optical communication, LED/photodiode drivers. Experience with inductive power transfer systems or high‑efficiency wireless power links. Experience working with or designing toward ASIC‑based implementations.
