Hardware System Engineer

Acceler8 Talent is partnering with a new startup in the Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) space, driving innovation through advanced hardware engineering and AI solutions. They're now hiring an experienced Electrical Systems Engineer.

In this role, you'll develop high-quality, scalable, and testable electrical systems at the core of their medical devices. You'll work cross-functionally with electronics, firmware, and mechanical design teams and directly contribute to the delivery of cutting-edge technologies that restore autonomy to people living with disabilities and improve their quality of life.

This is an early-stage environment, where dedication, ownership, and collaboration are vital indicators of success, and your work will have a significant and long-lasting impact.

Key Responsibilities:

• Gather product requirements and design input from cross-functional groups and convert them into detailed electrical specifications.
• Develop electrical architectures and systems that satisfy product needs while adhering to FDA regulations.
• Partner closely with firmware, hardware, and software teams to build advanced medical devices.
• Create and execute verification and validation test plans.
• Prepare documentation outlining electrical system architecture.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s, master’s, or PhD in electrical engineering.
• At least 5 years of experience building low-power embedded electrical systems.
• Strong background in wireless power transfer, low-power FPGA technology, and/or high-bandwidth radio systems.
• Familiarity with medical device development practices, including design controls, risk analysis, and regulatory standards
• Proven ability to work effectively with multidisciplinary teams, including collaborators across multiple continents and time zones.

Skills and Abilities:

• Skilled in designing, testing, and characterizing electrical systems for power and data transfer using simulation tools (e.g., Ansys) and lab instruments (e.g., VNA, spectrum analyzer).
• Capable of architecting, implementing, and validating low-power FPGA or ASIC solutions in Verilog/SystemVerilog.
• Experience with RF emissions, interference, and susceptibility concerns.
• Extensive hands-on experience with lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, DMMs, and similar tools.
• Comfortable working with common microcontroller platforms (STMicro, Nordic, NXP) and communication protocols like I2C, SPI, and UART.
• Proficient in Altium Designer and quick-turn PCB workflows.
• Adept at fine-pitch soldering and rework.
• Able to write or adjust firmware to support hardware testing.
• Established history of hardware bring-up and debugging in collaboration with other engineering disciplines.
