Beacon Biosignals is on a mission to revolutionize precision medicine for the brain. We are the leading at-home EEG platform supporting clinical development of novel therapeutics for neurological, psychiatric, and sleep disorders. Our FDA 510(k)-cleared Waveband EEG headband and AI algorithms enable quantitative biomarker discovery and implementation. Beacon’s Clinico-EEG database contains EEG data from nearly 100,000 patients, and our cloud-native analytics platform powers large-scale RWD/RWE retrospective and predictive studies. Beacon Biosignals is changing the way that patients are treated for any disorder that affects brain physiology.
As a firmware engineer, you’ll focus on delivering high-quality, reliable products by collaborating with cross-functional teams across design, research, manufacturing and quality throughout the full product lifecycle. Your design iterations get incorporated during development to improve the product’s quality and reliability, so the user gets the best possible experience. At the end of the design cycle, you will be performing testing to verify that the product meets its intended design requirements. Additionally, you will document design in accordance with applicable product development processes, Quality, and Regulatory requirements.
Beacon's robust asynchronous work practices ensure a first-class remote work experience, but we also have in-person office hubs available located in Boston, New York and Paris.
What success looks like:
- Develop and maintain firmware and software in accordance with Beacon’s QMS.
- Perform firmware design with significant challenges related to complexity, power, size, and RF communication.
- Execute on all phases of firmware development, including requirements capture, prototyping, design, unit testing, static analysis, code review, design verification, debugging, and manufacturing readiness.
- Develop automated tests to ensure high-quality software releases.
- Develop production software tools for mass production.
What you will bring:
- BS in computer science, electrical engineering, or related field
- 5+ years of work experience with a BS degree or 3+ years of work experience with an MS degree, developing real-time embedded firmware in C.
- Ability to read and follow electrical schematics.
- Knowledge of embedded systems architecture and real-time operating systems (RTOS).
- Proficiency with tools like Git/JIRA and platforms like GitHub.
- Proficiency with scripting languages such as Python.
- Knowledge of design controls and medical device development regulations is preferred.
The base salary range for this role is determined based on past experience, specific skills and qualifications. The base salary is one component of the total compensation package, which includes equity, PTO and other benefits.
At Beacon, we've found that cultural and scientific impact is driven most by those that lead by example. As such, we're always seeking new contributors whose work demonstrates an avid curiosity, a bias towards simplicity, an eye for composability, a self-service mindset, and - most of all - a deep empathy towards colleagues, stakeholders, users, and patients. We believe a diverse team builds more robust systems and achieves higher impact.
