Position: Electronics & Software Engineer - Wearable Sensors

The Venture Unit Wearable Sensors pioneers soft dry electrodes for easy, comfortable, and long-term monitoring of bio-signals such as EEG, ECG, EMG, and EOG for both consumer and medical applications.

In this role, you will drive the growth of our SoftPulse technology by developing dedicated acquisition platforms and hardware reference designs. You will evaluate, design, test, and validate electronic systems for biopotential acquisition across various wearable form factors—from glasses to wristbands to earbuds.

As our key technical contact for partners and suppliers, you will lead collaborations to develop next-generation acquisition hardware and integrated platforms. Through systematic testing and component evaluation, you will help shape the future of SoftPulse-compatible solutions and enhance our position in wearable biosensing.

Your Responsibilities

• Lead technical evaluations and collaborations with external partners and suppliers to develop biopotential acquisition solutions relevant for SoftPulse electrodes.
• Design, prototype, and validate electronic circuits and corresponding firmware for biosignal acquisition (EEG, EMG, ECG, EOG) across wearable form factors.
• Select and characterize electrical components (amplifiers, filters, ADCs, power management) suitable for high-impedance dry electrodes and low-noise signal acquisition.
• Develop and execute test protocols for signal quality, impedance, and system performance; design and maintain testing fixtures and experimental setups.
• Support internal and external stakeholders in integrating SoftPulse electrodes into their devices by providing hardware recommendations and system-level guidance.
• Contribute to the development of a SoftPulse validation kit, including hardware reference designs and supporting software for data visualization and customer evaluation.
• Document designs, validation results, and best practices to build internal knowledge and contribute to the definition of future proprietary solutions and patents.

Our Requirements

We are seeking an Electrical or Embedded Systems Engineer with a robust background in analog electronics and biosignal acquisition, motivated to develop the next generation of SoftPulse-based wearable sensing platforms. The ideal candidate combines solid fundamentals in circuit design with a practical mindset, thriving in a journey from concept to prototype to product.

• Degree in Electrical, Biomedical, or a related engineering field (PhD or equivalent industry experience).
• Proven experience in analog electronics design, with an understanding of noise analysis, filtering, high-impedance sensors, and power/size optimization.
• Hands-on experience developing and testing electronics for low-noise biosignal acquisition or similar sensor systems.
• Familiarity with CAD tools for schematic and PCB design (e.g., Altium or similar).
• Experience designing test fixtures and proficiency in using electrical test instruments.
• Proficient in firmware development for embedded systems (C/C++, etc.); knowledge of wireless communication techniques is a plus.
• Knowledge of biosignal processing principles and applications such as human-machine interfaces, biofeedback/control theory, or electrodermal activity is advantageous.
• Fluent in English; additional languages (e.g., German, Italian, or Chinese) are a plus.
• Independent, hands-on, and self-driven personality with a strong interest in wearable technologies and sensor innovation.
• Willingness to travel internationally up to 25% and work on-site at least 60% of the time.
