Job description

Team Description:

The Brain Interfaces Embedded Systems Team, a division of the Brain Interfaces Hardware Department, owns the development of high-performance, safety-critical embedded systems for the next-generation of brain-computer interfaces. As a key member of our team, you will gain hands-on training, work alongside accomplished mentors, and contribute to real-world projects.

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 determine and implement features that have a massive impact on the product's capabilities. You will have the opportunity to collaborate closely with chip designers, electrical engineers, algorithms engineers, and software engineers on a small, agile team. The job responsibilities will include:

  • Building on your ability to work cross functionally, working with engineers who deliver safety-critical systems while considering power, radio, and thermal requirements
  • Gaining an understanding of delivering products and/or core features from planning and design to execution and testing
  • Growing your fundamental understanding of hardware while contributing to bare-metal firmware in C
  • Contributing to codebase organization, prioritizing modular formats that allow for elegant hardware bifurcation in the field
  • Developing the ability to contribute to system improvements that decrease latency and increase battery life, reliability, and safety

Required Qualifications:

  • 2+ 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

Preferred Qualifications:

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