Electrical Engineer, Implant Embedded Systems
Join the implant 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. We are looking for experienced, hands-on engineers who are interested in exploring what's possible in highly power and latency-constrained environments. We are looking for an experienced, hands-on electrical engineer for implant electronics board design, integration with our custom chips, design verification, manufacturing, and quality control. You will own advanced projects, not only working on incremental changes, and be an integral member of a small, fast-moving team. You will be working on all phases of board design (part selection, schematic design, layout, and bring-up) as well as work closely with chip designers, firmware engineers, mechanical and manufacturing engineers, and microfabrication experts for system integration.
Job Responsibilities
- Utilize electrical engineering fundamentals and best system design practices to deliver high-performant, reliable, and manufacturable extremely size-constraint systems
- Contribute to all phases of system and board design, from system definition to part selection, schematic design, layout, bring up, and design verification
- Help conduct R&D investigations and experiments to demonstrate feasibility of new technology for the implant and the charger
- Work cross functionally to ensure successful systems integration
- Contribute to system improvements that decrease latency and increase battery life, reliability, and safety
- Design and deploy systems for implant-charger hardware in the loop testing, and manufacturing line quality control
Note : The team is hiring electrical engineers at all levels, both junior and senior. What matters most is evidence of exceptional abilities and a drive to succeed.
