Embedded Software Engineer

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, EEs, algorithms, and software engineers on a small team that moves quickly.

Job Description & 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 determine and implement features that have a massive 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 

Required Qualifications: 

• 3+ years of experience with embedded systems
• Proficient in C/C++, and Python
• Knowledge of MCU architectures, peripherals, and development environments
• Comfortable reading electrical schematics and datasheets
• Deep knowledge of the embedded toolchains and workflow
• Strong EE & DSP fundamentals
• HW/SW debugging skills with lab equipment
• 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
