Summary

We're seeking a senior electrical engineer to join our core engineering team and help us build lifesaving medical devices. You'll work daily with mechanical, acoustic, firmware, algorithm, and quality engineers, as well as our contract manufacturers and component vendors. You'll design the electronics that capture heart sounds, lung sounds, and ECG signals, power our devices, and send data wirelessly to our apps. The role covers both our shipping products and our next generation of hardware. On shipping products, you'll lead root cause analysis of field failures, qualify second-source components, and work with our contract manufacturers to improve yield. On new products, you'll help define the hardware architecture and take designs from schematic through production. We encourage engineers to work outside their core discipline, and you're welcome to contribute to sensor, algorithm, and firmware development where you have the skills. This is a hands-on role with significant time spent in the lab.
