๐ Tech Stack
๐ผ 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.
๐ฏ 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.
๐ 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.
โจ 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.

๐ฉ 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.
