Electrical Engineer

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. You'll 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:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or a closely related field
• 3+ years of hands-on experience in hardware or electrical engineering, 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 You'll 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. You'll have a meaningful seat at the table from day one.
