Hardware Engineer

Required

• 3+ years of experience designing and bringing up electronic hardware, with significant hands-on work in both board design and embedded firmware.
• A track record of building physical things that worked in real use: instruments, devices, or research rigs.
• Able to work independently, make sound technical calls, and explain trade-offs clearly to non-hardware teammates.
• Hands-on experience with biosignals (e.g., EEG, ECG, EMG) or other low-noise measurements, including electrode contact, noise sources, grounding, and shielding.
• Schematic capture and PCB layout in Altium or KiCad, including mixed-signal boards.
• Strong C/C++ skills for writing microcontroller firmware (e.g., on ARM Cortex-M, ideally with an RTOS such as Zephyr or FreeRTOS). Comfortable going below the application layer on Linux to debug device drivers, USB and serial issues, and kernel behavior when hardware misbehaves.
• Python for test scripts, device control, and data analysis.
• Hands-on experience synchronizing data across multiple devices (hardware triggers, shared clocks, timestamping).
• Comfortable at the bench with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and JTAG/SWD debuggers.
• Demonstrably adaptable and excited about finding creative solutions to problems nobody has solved before.
• Passionate about positively impacting the well-being of humanity and not just capitalizing on it.
• You thrive in a high-bandwidth, collaborative environment.
