About Us:
We are a Bay Area NeuroTech startup pioneering the future of bioelectronic medicine. Bioelectronic medical implants are the start of an entirely new form of medicine, treating chronic diseases through non-pharmaceutical mechanisms not previously accessible to clinicians.
Our minimally-invasive medical technology is implanted in a patient's body to directly modulate the nervous system and deliver real-time, personalized, organ-specific therapies. Conventional implantable devices require batteries, leads, and large electronics, whereas we have designed a battery-less, wireless, ultrasonic-powered technology capable of biosensing, monitoring, and treating multiple diseases.
We recently entered into a $430 million strategic partnership with our major investor, including $125 million committed to advancing our innovation and expansion into additional therapies.
Position Overview:
We are hiring an Engineering Manager focused on Embedded Software Verification who will lead the entire stack of system verification, from board bring-up to software verification to user interaction.
As the first-in member of our SW verification team, you will own the strategy and define the verification path for our safety critical systems. You will be a hands-on, technical leader that will also be tasked with building a team of engineers to support verification efforts as our needs evolve.
This is a unique opportunity to lead SW verification strategy within a revolutionary, early-stage company that operates as a MedTech startup, but without the risks of funding challenges.
Must be eligible to work in the US.
Job Responsibilities:
- Lead development of software integration and verification test protocols from requirements and design documents for a medical device ultrasound system running on a custom embedded system
- Own the verification process from start to finish
- Analyze C and Python firmware/software under test for possible failure modes and devise tests to try and expose failure modes
- Develop strong understanding of software architecture across multiple device programs
- Provide a consistent approach to planning software verification processes and activities based on risk and in compliance with IEC 62304
- Build and grow a strong team from scratch: establishing and managing performance expectations while providing training opportunities to staff members
- Oversee development, modification, application, and maintenance of software verification SOPs and other processes/procedures to ensure compliance with requirements and guidance
- Work with cross-functional stakeholders to ensure that software verification activities are compliant with company policies/procedures and satisfy business requirements
Skills and Requirements:
- Degreed in Computer Science/Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related discipline
- Substantial prior experience with IEC 62304
- Demonstrated relevant embedded software development and/or verification experience
- Strong proficiency is Python for writing SW tests
- Hands-on experience testing C/Python code
- Proven medical device industry work experience programming on an embedded target
- Demonstrated experience leading and completing projects, for example, shipping a product to market
- Thorough understanding of creating test protocols for verifying software requirements
- In-depth experience in one or more of the following areas:
o Physical-layer data transfer protocols (SPI, I2C, UART, USB etc)
o PCB design for embedded systems
o Interfacing with and testing the interface of peripheral devices connected to an
embedded processor
- Experience with test automation tools (e.g., Jenkins) and modern software test methodologies
- Experience with standard hardware test equipment such as oscilloscopes and signal generators
- Ability to collaborate with engineering teams when discovering, documenting, and resolving integration issues
- Startup & hands-on mentality:
o Articulate, motivated, independent, efficient, and able to handle several projects in parallel
o Interested in working in a small team environment with engineers of different skill sets
