Embedded Software Engineer, Implant Embedded Systems

Team Description:

Join the Brain Interfaces Embedded Systems Team and be part of an elite team of engineers working on high-performance, safety-critical embedded systems for the next-generation brain-computer interfaces. You will have the opportunity to work closely with chip designers, electrical engineers, and software engineers on a small, fast-moving team.

Job Description and Responsibilities:

We are looking for experienced, hands-on engineers who are interested in exploring what's possible in highly powered and latency-constrained environments. Firmware is the kernel of operation for the implant, and you have the chance to define and implement features that have a significant impact on the product’s capabilities. As an Embedded Software Engineer, you will be expected to:

• Own complex challenges from definition to solution
• Utilize your ability to work cross functionally to deliver safety critical systems while considering power, radio, and thermal requirements
• Take ownership of products and/or core features; from planning and design to execution and testing
• Build on your fundamental understanding of hardware while contributing to bare-metal firmware
• Embrace a fast-paced iterative environment that prioritizes shipping manufacturable solutions

Note: The team is hiring embedded engineers at all levels, both junior and senior. What matters most is evidence of exceptional abilities and a drive to succeed.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, electrical engineering, related field, or equivalent experience
• 1+ years of experience with embedded systems (including internships)
• Proficient in embedded C or Rust
• Ability to design bare-metal embedded systems in highly constrained environments
• Strong Electrical Engineering fundamentals
• Signal processing fundamentals
• You find enormous challenges exciting and enjoy discovering and defining problems as much as solving them
• You deliver. You may enjoy thoughtful conversations about problems and perfecting design, but in the end, you know that delivering reliable manufacturable solutions matters
• You are a cross-disciplinary team member. You are excited to work with and learn from chip designers to neuroscientists

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with embedded stacks for ARM cores
• Experience with safety-critical systems
• Experience with FPGA development and testing
• Experience with RF, BLE, TCP/IP stacks from a practical embedded perspective
• Prior work or experience with applied cryptography and embedded systems security
