Match with my CV

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.
  • Required

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience
  • Strong electrical engineering and physics fundamentals, with demonstrated ability to apply them under real-world constraints (noise, power, size, non-ideal interfaces)
  • Proven ability to independently design, bring up, debug, and verify complex PCBAs operating under tight power and size constraints, including mixed-signal circuits, sensitive sensor interfaces, and embedded compute
  • Experience debugging systems where issues span multiple domains (analog, digital, RF, power) and root causes are not immediately obvious
  • Deep familiarity with lab instrumentation (oscilloscopes, power supplies, spectrum analyzers, VNAs) and the ability to extract meaningful insight from imperfect measurements

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience shipping highly integrated, size- and power-constrained devices (e.g., wearables, implantables, compact wireless systems)
  • Experience with wireless systems and RF design tradeoffs (BLE, Wi-Fi, antenna design, coexistence)
  • Experience supporting hardware through manufacturing at scale, including yield, test, and failure analysis
  • Experience in safety-critical or regulated environments, where reliability and risk must be explicitly managed
  • Familiarity with mechanical integration constraints (CAD tools, packaging, stack-ups)
  • Experience with electromagnetic simulation and antenna validation (FEM/FDTD or equivalent)
  • Expected Compensation:

The anticipated base salary for this position is expected to be within the following range. Your actual base pay will be determined by your job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
