Type: Full-time
About the Role
We are seeking a Senior Embedded Systems Engineer to lead hardware diagnostics, system stability, and compliance readiness across the DirectMe platform.
This role will own the embedded systems lifecycle, including system-level integration, thermal/electrical debugging, and design remediation for regulatory success. It also acts as a technical liaison to external manufacturing partners and may grow to oversee a dedicated Manufacturing Engineer as production scales.
Select Responsibilities
System Diagnostics & Design Remediation
Investigate and resolve persistent hardware issues (thermal, power, boot failures, etc.)
Conduct circuit- and PCB-level reviews to identify root causes and propose corrective actions
Perform real-world profiling of thermal performance, battery behavior, and sensor loads
Pre-Certification & Compliance Readiness
Prepare device for EMC and electrical safety testing (e.g., IEC 60601-1, IEC 62368-1)
Document hardware changes to align with FDA QSR (21 CFR 820)
Collaborate with Quality and Regulatory teams on traceability and documentation
Embedded & Electrical Engineering
Design and debug hardware components, PCBs, and low-level firmware
Integrate sensor arrays (vision, IR, ultrasonic, IMUs) with real-time data processing pipelines
Lead embedded software and hardware interfacing for reliable system performance
Third-Party Manufacturing Interface
Act as technical point of contact for external contract manufacturers
Review DFM and test strategies with manufacturing partners
Coordinate design feedback loops, prototypes, and validation processes
(Future Opportunity) Grow into overseeing a Manufacturing Engineering resource
Preferred Qualifications:
5+ years in embedded or electrical engineering (regulated or safety-critical preferred)
Proven experience debugging thermal/power/system-level failures in embedded devices
Fluent in C/C++, PCB design tools (Altium/KiCad), and lab tools (oscilloscope, thermal cam)
Strong grasp of embedded system architectures, power management, and sensor fusion
Knowledge of FDA QSR, ISO 13485, or equivalent medical hardware standards
Bonus: Familiarity with wireless protocols (BLE, Wi-Fi), Python scripting, and RTOS
