As a Firmware Engineer, you will be responsible for developing high quality, robust, scalable and testable firmware that runs on Echo’s medical devices. You will play a substantial role in a cross-functional effort to deliver Echo’s first BCI device. You will participate in decision-making processes related to firmware, software, and electronics. You will be involved with the device’s full life cycle development, from gathering product requirements and design inputs, to developing the firmware that meets those needs, and to enabling testing, verification and validation of that firmware.

  • Collect product requirements and design inputs from various teams, and translate them to firmware needs
  • Develop firmware (and accompanying software) that meets product requirements and complies with FDA development standards
  • Collaborate with electrical, hardware, and software engineers in creating sophisticated medical devices
  • Design and implement firmware testing plans for verification/validation purposes
  • Create documents describing firmware architectures
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science
  • 5+ years of experience developing firmware, having participated in a full product development life cycle: proof-of-concept (including working with evaluation boards/dev kits), firmware architecture design and implementation, production release, product support
  • Knowledge of medical device development processes, including design controls, risk management, and regulatory compliance for medical devices
  • Experience in establishing work relationships across multi-disciplinary teams and with partners in different time zones, building trust and demonstrating critical thinking and thought leadership
  • Familiarity with industry standards, regulatory requirements, and quality systems relevant to software, such as ISO 62304 and FDA regulations
  • Expert proficiency in C and Python
  • Firmware development experience for IoT devices running on ARM Cortex-M processors
  • Worked with known microcontroller vendors such as STMicro, Nordic, and NXP
  • Understanding of firmware architectures (bare-metal and RTOS)
  • Test-driven development, scripts, automation, and CI/CD processes
  • Writing clean, well-documented code that follows coding guidelines
  • Experience with I2C, SPI, UART, and other popular communication protocols
  • Low power optimizations
  • Understanding of PCB schematics and writing firmware that meets electrical requirements
  • Hardware bring-up
  • Working with lab equipment such as DMMs, scopes, logic analyzers
  • Hardware/firmware/software debugging
  • Git for software version management
  • An opportunity to work on exciting, cutting-edge projects to transform patients’ lives in a highly collaborative work environment.
  • Competitive compensation, including stock options.
  • Comprehensive benefits package.
  • 401(k) program with matching contributions.
