Role

Who you are

3+ years’ experience developing embedded systems and hardware-software interfaces in industry settings
Expert in working in regulated settings (medical devices or similar) where version controls were used, eg Github
Proficient in C/C++
Proficient in shell, Python, or another widely adopted scripting language
Experienced with modern MCU architecture, eg ARM
Experienced working with communication buses including I2C, SPI, USB and BLE
Expert working with RTOS and/or bare metal systems
Expert at debugging of embedded systems using tools such as Segger J-Link. Able to bringup prototype boards without additional support
Comfortable with using a range of lab instruments such as signal generators, oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, vector network analyzers, etc (preferred)
Experience with requirements specification development and formal firmware/software testing (preferred)
You should be expert at finding creative solutions to difficult problems
A track record of delivering on accelerated timelines and budgets, with a demonstrated history of self-directed work within a team
Good oral and written communications skills

What the job involves

We are seeking a Senior Firmware Engineer to join our team that’s designing and developing the firmware for our brain-computer interface (BCI). Your work will help enable implanted electrode arrays in the brain to perform unprecedented feats, to address previously intractable neurological disease states
Be an individual contributor who will design, develop and maintain the firmware for our implant, wireless communication, data acquisition units, and related systems. It is likely that concurrent tasks will share memory within the embedded system
Work with applications that are size-constrained, operate at low power, and stream large sets of data
Translate models developed by our data science team into embedded code
Create test specifications, test protocols and complete continuous laboratory testing and debugging

Our take

Precision Neuroscience is finding new, practical ways of improving the lives of those who are suffering from neurological conditions.

The Layer 7 Cortical Interface is an implant that’s 1/5th the thickness of a human hair and can be fitted onto the human brain without damaging it. Through minimally invasive micro-slit surgery, the brain implant can process data and aims to move brain-computer interfaces (BCI) technology from small-scale research into a new era of worldwide usage.

The long-term goal of the Layer 7 Cortical Interface is to allow customers to interact with people and the world via digital means. Whilst the market is blooming with new companies exploring the possibilities of BCI technology, Precision has an advantage in that its solution requires minimal surgery and is reversible, meaning that it has wider implications than just neurological disorders.

Work is ongoing but with substantial funding behind it, Precision is using its investment to ramp up product development and FDA regulatory review as well as expanding its team.
