Who We Are:


We're an early-stage, mission-driven startup transforming the lives of individuals with limb difference. Our implantable sensor and AI-powered control systems enable lifelike control of prosthetic limbs, exoskeletons, and next-generation human-machine interfaces.


What You'll Do:


As an Electrical Engineer, you'll help design, prototype, and test cutting-edge implantable and wearable systems. Working under the guidance of senior engineers, you'll gain hands-on experience and contribute meaningfully to every stage of hardware development.


Key Responsibilities:


  • Support the development of circuit designs for implantable and wearable medical devices
  • Assist with component selection, schematic capture, PCB layout, and basic simulations
  • Participate in board bring-up, prototyping, and hands-on debugging
  • Test set development for automated production lines.
  • Assemble and rework PCBAs and electromechanical subassemblies
  • Validate and test circuit performance under real-world operating conditions
  • Contribute to the creation and upkeep of hardware design documentation and support regulatory submissions
  • Collaborate with firmware, mechanical, and biomedical engineers to ensure robust system integration
  • Participate in design reviews, FMEA discussions, and verification testing
  • Help maintain and organize the parts library for schematic and layout reuse
  • Work in a fast-paced, iterative environment where prototyping and adaptability are key

Required Qualifications:


  • Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) or related field
  • 0-3 years of industry experience (internships, co-ops, or personal projects count.)
  • Coursework in analog and/or embedded systems with laboratory components
  • Exposure to microcontroller-based design (e.g., Cortex-M4, nRF5x, or similar families)
  • Basic understanding of digital/analog interfaces: SPI, I2C, UART, ADCs, GPIOs
  • Familiarity with schematic capture and PCB design software (e.g., Altium, KiCAD)
  • Comfortable with hands-on prototyping: soldering, oscilloscopes, and circuit debugging
  • Demonstrated talent is building electrical projects.
  • Exposure to or interest in Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, NFC, or wireless power technologies
  • Strong communication skills and an eagerness to learn, adapt, and grow quickly
  • Enthusiasm for working in a mission-focused startup environment

Nice-to-Haves:


  • Experience with medical devices, wearables, or sensor-based systems
  • PCB design experience using Altium Designer
  • Programming experience in C/C and Python
  • Familiarity with embedded firmware development in an RTOS (e.g. Zephyr)
  • Experience with system-level test and integration
  • Interest in human-machine interfaces, neurotechnology, or implantable systems
