About the role
We are seeking an Electrical Systems Engineer II to join our team. This role involves building deeply technical, first-of-their-kind medical systems. You will be responsible for owning critical parts of our implantable and external hardware systems, from architecture through prototyping to production. This is a hands-on role where you'll thrive in ambiguity, enjoy moving between bench work and system design, and want your engineering decisions to directly shape patient outcomes.
Responsibilities
- Architect and design low-power, miniaturized electrical systems for implantable and wearable medical devices
- Lead schematic design, component selection, simulation, and PCB layout for complex mixed-signal systems
- Develop and debug analog/digital systems integrating MCUs and FPGAs
- Prototype early-stage hardware and rapidly iterate through testing and validation
- Bring up new boards from scratch and drive root-cause debugging using lab instrumentation
- Collaborate closely with firmware, mechanical, manufacturing, and systems teams to deliver fully integrated products
- Contribute to system-level decisions that define product performance, power budgets, communication architecture, and long-term scalability
Requirements
- B.S. in electrical engineering or related technical field, with 3+ years of experience designing low-power, small form-factor electrical systems OR M.S. in electrical engineering or related technical field, with 3+ years of experience designing low-power, small form factor electrical systems
