Description

Description About the Company Biolinq is a venture-backed digital health company developing a wearable biosensor platform that measures biomarkers important to the management of many clinical conditions including diabetes. This dynamic role is a part of a team of engineers and scientists developing a novel intradermal biosensor technology and the associated software data extraction and rendering SDK that will transform the way people manage their metabolic health. Biolinq is a venture-backed clinical stage medical device company developing a wearable biosensor platform that measures biomarkers important to the management of many clinical conditions including diabetes. Our team is driven to develop products that will change the way patients manage their health. We are dedicated to the personal and professional growth of all our team members and strive to establish a positive and creative work environment. Sr Firmware Engineer is a dynamic role, part of a team of engineers and scientists developing a novel intradermal biosensor technology. It requires knowledge of electronic systems, signal processing techniques, and firmware design, development and evaluation. You will actively contribute to the development of the company’s future products by developing new firmware, as well as modifying existing codebase. Additionally, you will contribute to the definition of the company’s products through concept ideation, design, and use of rapid fabrication techniques to create functional prototypes that will be used in clinical trials and beyond. You will demonstrate your sound analytical skills in evaluating designs, considering manufacturing feasibility, functional and cost requirements, and design optimization trade-offs. Duties and Responsibilities Define, design, and test functional, reliable and efficient firmware controlling electrochemical biosensing system hardware and interpreting sensor data. Develop specifications and test methods to experimentally validate design choices and optimize system performance. Iterate and evaluate firmware revisions for minimal power consumption. Implement various statistical signal processing routines designed to integrate parallel sensor inputs, data archiving of sensor readings in flash memory, hibernation/deep-sleep modes for extended system lifetime. Work closely with the Electrical Engineering team to implement seamless device-level integration of firmware-controlled embedded functionality. Work closely with Smartphone Application developers to ensure seamless transmission of sensor data to connected devices. Perform statistical analysis of system performance under relevant operating environment(s). Define specifications, generate documentation, and iterate designs based upon feedback from advisors, clinicians, and regulators.
