We have more than 8 FDA clearances including novel AI algorithms, and we invest heavily in quality clinical research and R&D to build and validate exceptional products for patients we care deeply about.

We've built a mission driven, high performing, talented, and diverse team of engineers, physicians, PhD's, creatives, and technologists. We are committed to investing in each other and our mission to ensure all patients have access to high quality care.

We are headquartered in Emeryville, California and privately-held with world class investors and partners.

Role Summary

We're seeking a senior electrical engineer to join our core engineering team and help us build

lifesaving medical devices. You'll work daily with mechanical, acoustic, firmware, algorithm, and

quality engineers, as well as our contract manufacturers and component vendors. You'll design

the electronics that capture heart sounds, lung sounds, and ECG signals, power our devices, and

send data wirelessly to our apps. The role covers both our shipping products and our next

generation of hardware. On shipping products, you'll lead root cause analysis of field failures,

qualify second-source components, and work with our contract manufacturers to improve yield.

On new products, you'll help define the hardware architecture and take designs from schematic

through production. We encourage engineers to work outside their core discipline, and you're

welcome to contribute to sensor, algorithm, and firmware development where you have the

skills. This is a hands-on role with significant time spent in the lab.

Essential Functions

Design, develop, and test electronics for digital stethoscopes and related products with

a cross-functional engineering team

Help define the architecture of next-generation hardware

Design schematics and PCB layouts for mixed-signal, battery-powered boards

Become an expert on capturing biological signals such as PCG and ECG

Bring up new hardware, run verification testing, and contribute to DFMEA

Lead root cause analysis of field failures and implement design fixes

Find and qualify second-source and replacement components

Develop manufacturing tests with contract manufacturers and improve production yield

Work with electronics vendors on manufacturability, cost, and build specifications

Lead safety, EMC, and wireless testing with outside labs (IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2,

FCC)

Contribute to sensor, algorithm, and firmware development where you have the skills

Navigate medical device regulatory requirements and contribute to design control

documentation

Required Qualifications

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field

5+ years of electrical engineering experience

Track record of taking electronic products from concept through production, with hands-

on design of both analog and digital circuits

Experience designing low-noise analog circuits such as sensor front ends, amplifiers,

filters, and ADC interfaces

Experience with schematic capture and PCB layout for mixed-signal boards, including

grounding, power integrity, and EMC/ESD design practices

Experience with battery-powered designs, including power management, charging, and

low-power operation

Experience supporting products in production, including root cause analysis, component

substitution, and working with contract manufacturers

Ability to do the analysis behind a design, such as worst-case, tolerance, noise, and

power budget calculations

Comfortable in the lab with oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, power analyzers, and

similar test equipment

Clear written and verbal communication, including design reviews, test reports, and

specifications that others can build from

Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work across

engineering, quality, and manufacturing teams

Preferred Qualifications

Experience in medical device development (FDA regulated environments, IEC 62304,

design controls)

Background in consumer electronics or consumer medical devices

Knowledge of digital signal processing (DSP) implementation on embedded platforms

Experience with audio signal processing or acoustic measurement systems

Experience designing acquisition circuits for biological signals such as ECG, PCG, or

EMG

Familiarity with wireless certification processes (FCC, CE, Bluetooth SIG)

Understanding of hardware component sourcing, bill of materials (BOM) optimization,

and design for manufacturing (DFM)

Experience with Altium Designer

Experience with Python or other scripting languages for test automation and tooling

Previous work in startup environments

Contributions to open-source embedded projects
