As an Embedded Software Engineer, you will develop firmware for brain machine implants, focusing on latency, power efficiency, and reliability. Responsibilities include writing software in Rust, optimizing performance, contributing to testing, and maintaining documentation.
As an embedded software engineer at Paradromics, you will work in tandem with neuroengineers and electronic designers to realize low-latency, high-fidelity brain machine implants. You'll own the firmware that sits between neural hardware and downstream inference, with a focus on real-time performance, power efficiency, and the reliability standards that come with an implantable medical device.
Responsibilities
- Contribute to multi-component embedded software, with an eye to improving reliability and latency.
- Write performant and understandable Rust.
- Participate in code reviews, design discussions, and work prioritization.
- Develop and maintain automated tests, including unit tests, integration tests, and hardware-in-the-loop tests.
- Profile and optimize firmware for memory usage, power consumption, and real-time performance.
- Write and maintain technical documentation, including architecture decisions, API references, and troubleshooting guides.
Required qualifications
- Proficiency in C++, Go, or Rust.
- Familiarity with embedded systems, including:
- handling tradeoffs between complexity and cost,
- Working within power and memory constraints,
- debugging live systems with JTAG or serial,
- interfacing with engineers at other levels of the stack,
- Experience with build tools like {c,}make.
- Experience building low level software running in Linux.
Preferred qualifications
- Experience interpreting schematics and datasheets.
- Experience building software under an RTOS, or bare metal.
- Experience building software with Yocto and/or Buildroot.
- Understanding of OTA updates and/or secure boot.
- Experience working on projects involving quality management systems, such as medical device development, aviation, finance, defense.
