Senior Wearable Brain-Tech Embedded Engineer

Orbit Neuro Co.; San Francisco (CA); On-site; USD 150,000 - 210,000; Full time

Job summary

Orbit Neuro Co. is seeking an experienced embedded C++ engineer to develop acquisition software for a high-performance wearable brain‑computer interface.

You will optimize data flow from raw sensor frames through on-device processing to a timestamped network stream, while evolving a Yocto-based Linux platform and reproducible builds. You will collaborate with hardware and FPGA teams, tackle timing, memory, and throughput challenges, and build tests and tools to ensure reliability and scalability

Qualifications

• Engineer with a degree in computer science, electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a related field, and at least five years of relevant professional experience.
• Experienced in modern C++ for embedded systems, including resource management, concurrency, and debugging.
• Comfortable developing on embedded Linux, with practical experience using Yocto.
• Familiar with networked services or messaging protocols such as gRPC, MQTT, DDS, or ZeroMQ, and approaches to moving structured data between systems.
• Comfortable reasoning across software and hardware boundaries and using measurements to explore design choices.
• Someone who enjoys sharing discoveries, discussing tradeoffs, and learning alongside engineers from other disciplines.

Responsibilities

• Develop the C++ software that controls acquisition, configures peripherals, runs self-tests, and manages recording sessions.
• Design and optimize the path from raw sensor frames through on-device signal processing to a timestamped network stream.
• Evolve our Yocto-based Linux platform, including application integration, system configuration, and reproducible builds.
• Solve timing, concurrency, memory, and throughput challenges across a high-performance wearable.
• Collaborate with hardware and FPGA engineers to bring new sensing capabilities to life.
• Build automated tests, performance measurements, and development tools that make the acquisition system reliable and scalable.
