Senior Electrical Engineer
Echo Neurotechnologies
San Francisco
Company Overview
Echo Neurotechnologies is an exciting new startup in the Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) space, driving innovation through advanced hardware engineering and AI solutions. Our mission is to deliver cutting-edge technologies that restore autonomy to people living with disabilities and improve their quality of life.
Team Culture
Join a small, dedicated team of knowledgeable and motivated professionals. Our early-stage environment offers the opportunity to take ownership of broad decisions with significant and long-lasting impact. We emphasize continuous learning and growth, fostering cross-functional collaboration where your contributions are vital to our success.
Role Overview
As a Senior Electrical Engineer, you will drive electrical system architecture and circuit design for medical devices spanning wearables to active implants. You will work across the full stack of low-power medical electronics, from novel sensing modalities and sensor front-ends to wireless power and communication systems, taking designs from concept through simulation, silicon, and board bring-up to a validated product. You bring a robust core skillset in electrical engineering, specialist know-how in one or more related areas, and enjoy working across the boundaries between hardware, firmware, mechanical, and software.
Key Responsibilities
- System Architecture: Architect and design EE systems integrating compute, sensing, power, and communications within tightly power- and space-constrained form factors, from body-worn wearables to implants.
- Sensing & Sensors: Explore, evaluate, and prototype novel sensing modalities and sensor interfaces,translating concepts into product-oriented designs.
- Electrical & Circuit Design: Design and characterize analog/mixed-signal circuits for wearable andimplantable applications, including simulation, statistical validation, and bench characterization.
- Wireless Power: Develop custom wireless power transfer systems with a focus on high end-to-end efficiency, robust performance across varying coupling conditions, and modern control methods.
- Electromagnetic Simulation: Perform EM simulations to design and optimize wireless power coils andcommunication antennas (BLE, Wi-Fi, UWB, etc.), and correlate simulation results with measurements.
- Mixed-Signal ASIC Development: Contribute to ASIC architecture definition, develop newanalog/mixed-signal modules and IP, run block- and system-level simulations, and lead post-siliconvalidation.
- PCBA Development: Develop and own PCBAs from schematic capture and layout through bring-up,debug, and design iteration.
Qualifications & Skills
- Master's or PhD in Electrical Engineering or related field. Equivalent experience and exceptionalcapabilities will be considered.
- Specialist expertise in one or more of: mixed-signal ASIC development, wireless power systems, radios and antennas.
- Experience in analog/mixed-signal circuit design experience (simulation, characterization, statistical validation).
- Experience developing systems with MCUs and FPGAs.
- Experience with RF/EM simulation tools and methods (e.g., Ansys HFSS, CST Studio Suite, Ansys Maxwell, or equivalent).
- Hands-on lab proficiency with instruments such as oscilloscopes, spectrum and vector network analyzers, impedance analyzers, and source measure units.
- Functional knowledge of C, Python, and Verilog.
- Comfortable working across hardware, firmware, mechanical, and software boundaries and collaborating with cross-functional device teams.
