About the Company
Adaptyx Biosciences is seeking a Senior Embedded Systems Engineer to lead the firmware/software (FW/SW) development of our wearable continuous molecular monitoring device as we prototype towards our first product. This role focuses on designing, prototyping, and optimizing embedded systems for low-power, wearable biosensors that integrate seamlessly with our proprietary molecular sensing platform. As a key team member, you will collaborate with cross-disciplinary scientists and engineers to create high-performance embedded solutions, ensuring robust integration of hardware, firmware, and software.
Responsibilities:
- Lead the design, development, and prototyping of FW/SW systems for our wearable biosensor platform.
- Collaborate with hardware and software teams to integrate molecular sensing components into a compact, low-power wearable platform.
- Develop firmware for microcontrollers and low-power SoCs to support sensor operation and data acquisition.
- Develop software applications for interfacing with the biosensor system.
- Conduct hardware testing, debugging, and performance tuning to optimize system reliability and accuracy.
- Implement wireless communication interfaces (e.g., Bluetooth, BLE, or similar) to transmit real-time data to companion devices.
- Create and maintain detailed technical documentation, including schematics, design specifications, and test procedures.
- Stay current with emerging trends in wearable technology and embedded systems to guide future development.
Required Qualifications:
- BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
- 7+years of experience developing FW/HW for low-power, compact devices.
- Proficiency in C/C for embedded firmware development and Python for data analysis and hardware validation.
- Strong understanding of hardware-software integration and experience with microcontroller platforms (e.g., Nordic, ARM Cortex, STM32).
- Experience developing systems for wearable or biosensing devices.
- Experience with communication protocols such as SPI, I2C, UART, and Bluetooth/BLE.
- Proficiency in software development for data analysis and visualization (e.g. scripts, databases, PC applications, web applications, etc.).
- Proficiency in bringing up, debugging and testing embedded hardware using tools like oscilloscopes, etc.
- Strong organizational and problem-solving skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Hands-on experience with PCB design, layout, and prototyping tools.
- Familiarity with low-power circuit design and optimization techniques.
- Knowledge of analog front-end design for sensor integration.
- Experience developing hardware and/or FW/SW for medical devices in compliance with regulatory standards (e.g., FDA, ISO 13485, IEC 60601, IEC 62304) and DFM practices.
- Familiarity with Design Control processes, including requirements management, risk analysis (e.g., FMEA), and verification/validation testing.
