๐Ÿ’ผ About This Role

You'll architect and own the firmware for a noninvasive wearable that turns thought into text. Your core impact is orchestrating a distributed-compute platform with multiple MCUs for sensor acquisition, media, and power management, shipping the product by end of year.

๐ŸŽฏ What You'll Do

  • Architect firmware across the distributed-compute platform (RTOS, inter-processor protocols, OTA).
  • Own the runtime hosting audio DSP, camera capture, and biopotential acquisition subsystems.
  • Drive low-power firmware on the always-on MCU (state machines, privacy, thermal throttling).
  • Build multi-MCU time-sync layer for correlating EEG, audio, and camera data.

๐Ÿ“‹ Requirements

  • 10+ years of embedded firmware engineering with at least one shipped consumer product.
  • Deep expertise across embedded RTOSes and bare-metal ARM Cortex-M.
  • Hands-on experience hosting real-time DSP runtimes with wireless connectivity on MCUs.
  • Strong background in multi-radio coexistence (Wi-Fi + BLE), low-power state machine, and OTA.

โœจ Nice to Have

  • Deploying neural network inference to low-power MCUs or dedicated AI accelerators.
  • Familiarity with on-device inference frameworks and edge AI runtimes.
  • Custom AI accelerator silicon or neuromorphic compute platforms.

๐ŸŽ Benefits & Perks

๐Ÿšฉ Heads Up

  • Heavy emphasis on shipping by end of year may indicate unrealistic timeline.
  • Role expects both firmware ownership and external team management, potentially too broad.
