Company Description:

We are creating the future of brain-computer interfaces: building devices now that have the potential to help people with paralysis regain mobility and independence and invent new technologies that could expand our abilities, our community, and our world.

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 an experienced, hands-on electrical engineer for implant electronics board design, integration with our custom chips, testing, and quality control. You will have the opportunity to contribute to advanced projects, not only work on incremental changes, and be an integral member of a small, fast-moving team. You will be working on all phases of board design (part selection, schematic design, layout, and bring-up) as well as collaborating closely with chip designers, firmware engineers, mechanical engineers, and microfabrication experts for system integration.

  • Utilize electrical engineering fundamentals and best system design practices to build on your ability to deliver high-performant, reliable, and manufacturable extremely size-constraint systems
  • Gain understanding of all phases of system and board design, from system definition to part selection, schematic design, layout, bring up, and design verification
  • Contribute to R&D investigations and experiments to demonstrate feasibility of new technology for the implant and the charger
  • Gain experience working cross functionally to ensure successful systems integration
  • Contribute to system improvements that decrease latency and increase battery life, reliability, and safety
  • Develop ability to design and deploy systems for implant-charger hardware in the loop testing, and manufacturing line quality control

Required Qualifications: 

  • Strong EE fundamentals
  • Experience designing PCBs for low power and size constrained applications
  • Experience with PCB CAD tools (Altium, Eagle, KiCad, Allegro)
  • Experience with sensors, power management, and signal/power integrity
  • Comfortable with common communication protocols (SPI, UART, I2C, etc.)
  • Comfortable with lab equipment (oscilloscope, VNA, etc.)
  • Basic C and Python programming skills

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience with firmware development for embedded systems (C/C++)
  • Experience with wireless systems (BLE, WIFI, Zigbee)
  • Experience building and bringing-up MCUs or FPGA
  • Proficiency with ME CAD tools (Solidworks, AutoCAD)
  • Experience with analog circuit design
