Electronics & Software Engineer - Wearable Sensors

The Venture Unit Wearable Sensors are pioneers in developing soft dry electrodes, enabling 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'll evaluate, design, test, and validate electronic systems for biopotential acquisition across various wearable form factors - from glasses to wristbands to earbuds.

As the 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'll contribute to shaping the future of SoftPulse-compatible solutions and enhancing our position in wearable biosensing.

Your Responsibilities

• Lead technical evaluations and collaborations with external partners and suppliers to develop biopotential acquisition solutions relevant to SoftPulse electrodes.
• Design, prototype, and validate electronic circuits and corresponding firmware for biosignal acquisition (EEG, EMG, ECG, EOG) across various wearable form factors.
• Select and characterize electrical components (amplifiers, filters, ADCs, power management) conducive to 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.
• Assist internal and external stakeholders in integrating SoftPulse electrodes into their devices by providing hardware recommendations and system-level guidance.
• Contribute to the creation 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 seek an Electrical or Embedded Systems Engineer with a solid background in analog electronics and biosignal acquisition, motivated to build the next generation of SoftPulse-based wearable sensing platforms. The ideal candidate combines strong fundamentals in circuit design with a practical mindset and enjoys the journey from concept to prototype to product.

• Degree in Electrical, Biomedical, or related engineering field (PhD or equivalent industry experience).
• Proven experience in analog electronics design, with a firm understanding of noise analysis, filtering, high-impedance sensors, and power/size optimization.
• Hands-on experience in 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 in 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.
• Understanding of biosignal processing principles and applications, such as human-machine interfaces, biofeedback/control theory, or electrodermal activity is advantageous.
• Fluency in English; additional languages (e.g., German, Italian, or Chinese) are also beneficial.
• 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.
