Searching for an Opportunistic Biomedical Signal Processing / Embedded ML Engineer

We are a well-funded, late-stage medical device startup with our sights set on saving lives. We have FDA-cleared, non-invasive hardware sensors that acquire patients’ vital signs anytime, anywhere. We have some great products and some great ideas, validated by the US Military, SOCOM, NATO, the Gates Foundation, the Cleveland Clinic, and many others. Our device saved its first life 2 months after our first FDA clearance and we’re now up to seven. I’d love to go into more details here, so we can find the best possible candidate, but we have confidentiality issues to contend with. That will have to wait until we sign an NDA and have a cup of coffee.

We’re looking for a hands-on engineer to own the development of biosignal processing algorithms and their deployment onto the embedded hardware inside our wearable device. We have a clear technical roadmap, a working platform, firmware infrastructure, and a talented engineering team in place today. We also have real physiological data, validated by government-funded studies, that will feed the work. Details will have to wait until that virtual cup of coffee, but we need to convert that data and platform into production-ready, embedded algorithms that run reliably on constrained hardware in austere environments.

You should be intelligent, creative, adaptable, and able to juggle lots of concepts at once. We’re looking for someone whose friends comment that they never forget or lose track of anything, someone who learns things quickly and retains that knowledge. A great attitude goes a long way! You must also be a problem-solver. You must be ambitious, self-motivated, and equally able to work independently or in groups. You must also be an effective communicator and able to learn from and work with clients and teammates.

The ideal candidate would have knowledge and experience in wearable biosensor technology and signal processing, with exposure to the Department of War or the federal government as a plus.
