Embedded Software & Test Engineer

As an embedded software & test engineer at Paradromics, you will work in tandem with neuroengineers and electronic designers to realize low-latency, high-fidelity brain machine implants. You'll own the firmware that sits between neural hardware and downstream inference, with a focus on real-time performance, power efficiency, and the reliability standards that come with an implantable medical device.

Responsibilities

• Contribute to multi-component embedded software, with an eye to improving reliability and latency.
• Write performant and understandable Rust.
• Participate in code reviews, design discussions, and work prioritization.
• Develop and maintain automated tests, including unit tests, integration tests, and hardware-in-the-loop tests.
• Profile and optimize firmware for memory usage, power consumption, and real-time performance.
• Write and maintain technical documentation, including architecture decisions, API references, and troubleshooting guides.

Required qualifications

• Proficiency in C++, Go, or Rust.
• Familiarity with embedded systems, including:
  • handling tradeoffs between complexity and cost, 
  • Working within power and memory constraints,
  • debugging live systems with JTAG or serial,
  • interfacing with engineers at other levels of the stack,
  • Experience with build tools like {c,}make.
• Experience building low level software running in Linux.

Preferred qualifications

• Experience interpreting schematics and datasheets.
• Experience building software under an RTOS, or bare metal.
• Experience building software with Yocto and/or Buildroot.
• Understanding of OTA updates and/or secure boot.
• Experience working on projects involving quality management systems, such as medical device development, aviation, finance, defense.
