Embedded Software Engineer

At Nia Therapeutics, we are engineering solutions at the frontier of neuroscience to make memory loss reversible.

We are a team of scientists and engineers developing advanced implantable brain stimulation devices to reverse memory loss from brain injury and degenerative disease. Our core technology, developed at the University of Pennsylvania and funded by DARPA, is built on a foundation of human clinical studies that demonstrate its efficacy. This is a rare opportunity to help develop a product that will not only improve patient lives but also redefine what's possible in neural engineering.

JOB SUMMARY

We are looking for an exceptional junior embedded software engineer to join our team in building our smart neuromodulation platform for memory restoration. The successful applicant will play a key role in developing and enhancing the firmware for our implantable and wearable devices, including the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) interface with a patient-facing mobile application. This will shape how patients interact with the world’s first memory-restoring implantable device.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Develop embedded firmware in C to support BLE communication between an implantable device and mobile apps
• Design and implement custom GATT services and characteristics to enable secure, low-latency data exchange
• Support real-time signal processing, sensor interfaces, and closed-loop control logic
• Contribute to the design of system-level communication protocols across implant, wearable, and cloud platforms
• Help build automated test systems for wireless and embedded functionality
