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 experienced, hands-on engineers who are interested in exploring what's possible in highly powered and latency-constrained environments. Firmware is the kernel of operation for the implant and you have the chance to determine and implement features that have a massive impact on the product's capabilities. You will have the opportunity to collaborate closely with chip designers, electrical engineers, algorithms engineers, and software engineers on a small, agile team. The job responsibilities will include:
- Building on your ability to work cross functionally, working with engineers who deliver safety-critical systems while considering power, radio, and thermal requirements
- Gaining an understanding of delivering products and/or core features from planning and design to execution and testing
- Growing your fundamental understanding of hardware while contributing to bare-metal firmware in C
- Contributing to codebase organization, prioritizing modular formats that allow for elegant hardware bifurcation in the field
- Developing the ability to contribute to system improvements that decrease latency and increase battery life, reliability, and safety
Required Qualifications:
- 2+ years of experience with embedded systems
- Proficient in C/C++, and Python
- Knowledge of MCU architectures, peripherals, and development environments
- Comfortable reading electrical schematics and datasheets
- Deep knowledge of the embedded toolchains and workflow
- Strong EE & DSP fundamentals
- HW/SW debugging skills with lab equipment
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with embedded stacks for ARM cores
- Experience with safety-critical systems
- Experience with FPGA development and testing
- Experience with RF, BLE, and TCP/IP stacks from a practical embedded perspective
- Prior work or experience with applied cryptography and embedded systems security
