Senior Embedded Systems Engineer Adaptyx Biosciences -
Menlo Park, CA - In Office
Adaptyx Biosciences is an early-stage biotechnology company on a mission to reinvent healthcare by developing the world’s first truly generalizable biosensor platform.
We are seeking a Senior Embedded Systems Engineer to lead the firmware/software (FW/SW) development of our wearable continuous molecular monitoring device as we prototype towards our first product. This role focuses on designing, prototyping, and optimizing embedded systems for low-power, wearable biosensors that integrate seamlessly with our proprietary molecular
sensing platform.
As a key team member, you will collaborate with cross-disciplinary scientists and engineers to create high-performance embedded solutions, ensuring robust integration of hardware, firmware, and software.
Required Qualifications:
• BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• 7+ years of experience developing FW/HW for low-power, compact devices.
• Proficiency in C/C++ for embedded firmware development.
• Strong understanding of hardware-software integration and experience with
microcontroller platforms (e.g., Nordic, ARM Cortex, STM32).
• Experience with communication protocols such as SPI, I2C, UART, and Bluetooth/BLE.
• Proficiency in software development for data analysis and visualization.
• Experience with Python for data analysis and hardware validation.
• Proficiency in bringing up, debugging and testing embedded hardware using tools like oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and power meters.
• Hands-on experience with PCB design, layout, and prototyping tools.
• Familiarity with low-power circuit design and optimization techniques.
• Strong organizational and problem-solving skills.
• Self-starter with the ability to prioritize projects to meet deadlines.
• Strong interpersonal skills and desire to collaborate on interdisciplinary projects within a
dynamic biotech startup environment.
Preferred Qualifications:
• Experience developing hardware for wearable or biosensing devices.
• Knowledge of analog front-end design for sensor integration.
• Experience developing hardware and firmware for medical devices in compliance with regulatory standards (e.g., FDA, ISO 13485) and DFM practices.
• Familiarity with Design Control processes, including requirements management, risk analysis (e.g., FMEA), and verification/validation testing.
• Knowledge of IEC 60601 standards for electrical safety and performance of medical Devices
