About the role
To succeed, we need to assemble world-class teams across everything we do. We hire people who are exceptional at their craft, believe hard things are worth doing, and execute relentlessly — people who expect the highest levels of both rigor and integrity from each other.
Responsibilities
- Design and build test systems to evaluate device performance, safety, and reliability with mechanical, electrical, acoustic, fabrication, and software components
- Identify what matters most to test at a system level and translate risk into high-signal experiments before clinical use
- Execute tests, analyze results, and feed clear learnings back into device and system design
- Own and grow a library of validation and characterization tests as the system evolves
About You
- We are looking for engineers with at least 4 years of industry experience.
- Regardless of career level, you should have:
- Experience building and running hardware-in-the-loop or instrumentation-heavy tests (acoustic, mechanical, electrical, or mixed-domain)
- A degree in an engineering discipline (mechanical, electrical, mechatronics, engineering physics, or similar) or equivalent hands-on experience
- Strong systems-level thinking of the entire device rather than isolated components
- Comfort designing scrappy, fast experiments focused on learning and risk reduction rather than polish
- Proven ability to work autonomously while collaborating closely with interdisciplinary engineering teams
- A track record of building custom test setups from scratch when no standard test exists
- High integrity and strong professional judgement
