## Description

Join the Brain Interfaces Embedded Systems Team and be part of an elite team of engineers working on high-performance, safety-critical embedded systems for the next-generation brain-computer interfaces. You will have the opportunity to work closely with chip designers, electrical engineers, and software engineers on a small, fast-moving team., We are looking for experienced, hands-on engineers who are interested in exploring what's possible in highly powered and latency-constrained environments. Firmware is the kernel of operation for the implant, and you have the chance to define and implement features that have a significant impact on the product's capabilities. As an Embedded Software Engineer, you will be expected to:

 * Own complex challenges from definition to solution
 * Utilize your ability to work cross functionally to deliver safety critical systems while considering power, radio, and thermal requirements
 * Take ownership of products and/or core features; from planning and design to execution and testing
 * Build on your fundamental understanding of hardware while contributing to bare-metal firmware
 * Embrace a fast-paced iterative environment that prioritizes shipping manufacturable solutions

Note: The team is hiring embedded engineers at all levels, both junior and senior. What matters most is evidence of exceptional abilities and a drive to succeed.
