Job Details

Job Purpose

The Senior Firmware Engineer is a dynamic role, part of a team of engineers and scientists developing a novel intradermal biosensor technology. It requires knowledge of electronic systems, signal processing techniques, and firmware design, development and evaluation. You will actively contribute to the development of the company's future products by developing new firmware, as well as modifying existing codebase. Additionally, you will contribute to the definition of the company's products through concept ideation, design, and use of rapid fabrication techniques to create functional prototypes that will be used in clinical trials and beyond. You will demonstrate your sound analytical skills in evaluating designs, considering manufacturing feasibility, functional and cost requirements, and design optimization trade-offs.

Duties and Responsibilities

• Define, design, and test functional, reliable and efficient firmware controlling electrochemical biosensing system hardware and interpreting sensor data.
• Develop specifications and test methods to experimentally validate design choices and optimize system performance.
• Iterate and evaluate firmware revisions for minimal power consumption.
• Implement various statistical signal processing routines designed to integrate parallel sensor inputs, data archiving of sensor readings in flash memory, hibernation/deep-sleep modes for extended system lifetime.
• Work closely with the Electrical Engineering team to implement seamless device-level integration of firmware-controlled embedded functionality.
• Work closely with Smartphone Application developers to ensure seamless transmission of sensor data to connected devices.
• Perform statistical analysis of system performance under relevant operating environment(s).
• Define specifications, generate documentation, and iterate designs based upon feedback from advisors, clinicians, and regulators.

Requirements

• Bachelor's Degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent field, with a minimum of 5 years of relevant experience, preferably in a regulated medical product development environment, or Master's Degree with a minimum of 3 years of experience.
• Aptitude for firmware development in C/C++ for microcontrollers. ARM Cortex-specific experience preferred.
• Experience with wireless data transmission protocols, particularly NFC and BLE.
• Experience developing firmware for use in regulated medical devices (i.e. 510(k), PMA) is preferred.
• Familiarity with quality systems, including design controls (21 CFR 820.30) and ISO specifications (13485).
• Ability to interface with electrical, mechanical, software, and biomedical engineers and work in a fast-paced, multi-disciplinary environment.
• Capacity to execute on multiple projects and communicate ideas clearly to the team.
• Participate on architecting firmware designs for new miniaturized sensing systems and develop deep expertise relevant to wearable medical devices.
• Experience with ASIC development or the design of front ends for electrochemical sensors is a major plus.
