Job summary

deepsightinc is seeking a highly motivated Electrical Engineer with expertise in embedded systems to join our ultrasound hardware team. You will bring up, optimize, and integrate subsystems, develop test infrastructure, and collaborate across hardware, software, and manufacturing in a fast-paced medical device startup environment.

The role requires 7+ years of experience in embedded systems, hands-on hardware and firmware development, and a track record in regulated industries.

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field; Master's or Ph.D. is highly preferred.
7+ years of progressive experience in embedded systems development, with hardware and firmware design.
Extensive experience with firmware development in bare-metal and RTOS environments (e.g., FreeRTOS, Zephyr).
Proficiency in C, C++, Python, and potentially other relevant languages like Rust.
Expertise in FPGA development using Verilog, VHDL, or Amaranth HDL.
Experience with schematic capture and PCB design using tools such as Altium Designer or KiCad.
Hands-on experience with mixed-signal, RF, or optoelectronic circuit design and prototyping.
Demonstrated ability to architect and implement complex embedded systems and test infrastructure.
Experience developing test software and implementing test automation solutions.
Familiarity with designing data acquisition systems and working with standard lab equipment.
Strong understanding of electrical engineering principles relevant to high-performance embedded systems.
Experience working in a regulated industry (e.g., medical devices, aerospace, defense, finance), with direct experience contributing to design controls, risk management, and documentation for regulatory submissions (e.g., FDA 510(k), CE Marking).
Excellent troubleshooting and debugging skills at the hardware and firmware levels.
Experience with Linux environments for development.
Excellent communication and collaboration skills, comfortable working in a dynamic startup environment.

Responsibilities

Architect, design, and implement embedded hardware and firmware (bare-metal and RTOS environments) for ultrasound system subsystems, focusing on mixed signal, RF, and optoelectronic components.
Extend and maintain existing firmware codebase, ensuring high quality, reliability, and performance.
Design and develop software tools for Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing and automated production testing to validate embedded systems rigorously.
Lead the creation of detailed test specifications, define acceptance tolerances, and contribute to verification and validation documentation for regulatory submissions.
Own the operation, tweaking, and implementation of new features in FPGA RTL (Verilog/VHDL/Amaranth).
Architect and implement the end-to-end data acquisition pipeline (Hardware, Firmware, Software, potentially Cloud integration) for testing, characterization, and manufacturing support.
Optimize embedded subsystem performance and lead their integration (HW/FW/SW) into the overall system architecture.
Define requirements for capital test equipment needed to support development and production testing.
Lead failure analysis and root cause investigation for embedded system issues.
Collaborate closely with electrical, software, systems, and manufacturing engineers to ensure seamless integration and manufacturability within a regulated framework.
