Job Summary

About the Company

A well-funded health technology startup is developing a first-of-its-kind wearable biosensor platform for continuous non-invasive health monitoring. This is an early-stage high-impact opportunity to shape the hardware foundation of a platform with significant implications for chronic disease management and personalized medicine.

Position Overview

The company is looking for a hands-on Electrical Engineer to join a small fast-moving R&D team. This role sits at the intersection of analog circuit design wireless communication and miniaturized sensor hardware. Youll own critical aspects of the electrical architecture for an ultra-compact biosensor platform and work closely with cross-functional teams spanning materials science firmware and clinical research.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design prototype and iterate on analog and mixed-signal circuits for biosensor signal acquisition and conditioning
  • Develop and optimize low-power circuit architectures suitable for miniaturized body-worn devices
  • Select and evaluate components for size power consumption biocompatibility and performance in an oral environment
  • Lead PCB layout and schematic design for compact multi-layer boards
  • Integrate and validate Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) or similar short-range wireless communication modules for real-time data transmission
  • Characterize sensor performance across relevant biological and environmental conditions
  • Collaborate with firmware engineers to define hardware-software interfaces and support embedded system integration
  • Develop and execute verification and validation protocols for electrical subsystems
  • Contribute to design documentation IP development and regulatory submission materials (FDA CE)
  • Support design for manufacturability (DFM) efforts as the platform matures toward commercial production
  • Stay current on emerging technologies in wearable electronics biosensing and wireless health platforms
  • Perform other duties as the role evolves in a startup environment

Qualifications

Required:

  • Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering Biomedical Engineering or a closely related field
  • 3 years of hands-on experience in hardware or electricalengineering with at least some R&D or product development exposure in the medtech space.
  • Proficiency in analog and mixed-signal circuit design.
  • Experience with PCB design tools such as Altium.
  • Familiarity with wireless communication protocols particularly Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE).
  • Strong understanding of low-power design principles for battery-operated or energy-harvesting devices.
  • Comfortable working in an ambiguous fast-paced startup environment with limited resources.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and a bias toward building and testing over theorizing.

Preferred:

  • Experience developing medical devices or wearable consumer electronics
  • Familiarity with FDA design controls IEC 60601 or similar regulatory frameworks
  • Background in electrochemical sensing impedance spectroscopy or biosignal acquisition
  • Experience with miniaturization challenges and packaging constraints for body-worn hardware
  • Exposure to MEMS flexible electronics or chip-scale integration

What Youll Be Part Of

This is a ground-floor opportunity to join a small technically ambitious team working on technology with the potential to redefine how health data is collected and used. The ideal candidate thrives in environments where they can own problems end-to-end wear multiple hats and see their work directly shape a product. Youll have a meaningful seat at the table from day one.
