JOB SUMMARY:

Kernel is building next generation, non-invasive, mind/body/machine interfaces (MBMIs). Our team of 47, including 28 PhDs, is working on the frontier, pioneering in multiple fields. The technology we’re building will improve how we address mental disease and dysfunction and usher in a new era of exploring, improving and evolving our cognition.

We are building a team of electrical engineers to bring our revolutionary sensor design to a system level, ready for commercial use. The team will design, build and test the circuitry, systems and algorithms that will control a state-of-the-art non-invasive measurement system. The Analog Design Engineer will be responsible for component selection, low level analog circuit design, schematic capture and circuit testing.

Neuroscience is the new rocket science. We’re looking for those who can see it now, without the social proof that will follow in the years to come.

ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS:

• • Develop mission-critical analog and mixed-signal electronics (circuit design and boards) for advanced R&D and product development
  • Work independently when necessary to meet tight deadlines
  • Operate effectively within a tight-knit interdisciplinary team consisting of physicists, data scientists, neuroscientist and engineers to achieve the (nearly) impossible

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

• • Minimum two years of work experience outside college for Bachelor’s degree, one year for Master’s
  • Experience in analog and mixed signal circuit design
  • Experience designing circuit boards with analog electronics such as DACs, ADCs, and Operational Amplifiers
  • Knowledge of analog and digital signal processing techniques
  • Proficiency with industry standard simulation tools (SPICE) and ability to refine simulations to match experimental results.
  • Demonstrated experience high-performance consumer, aerospace, robotics, military or medical system design
  • Familiarity with industry-standard schematic capture software (Altium preferred).
  • Knowledge of BOM management and PLM tools.
  • Experience with lab test equipment and comfort with validating and characterizing new hardware.

PREFERRED SKILLS:

• • Seven years of industry work experience
  • Ability to analyze and design low noise laser drivers and photodiode amplifiers
  • Knowledge of synchronous detection techniques
  • Experience designing switching and linear regulators
  • Understanding of electronic noise and, quantization noise, and low noise design techniques
  • Understanding of ADC and DAC performance specifications such as ENOB, SNR, INL, and DNL
  • Experience designing to avoid and mitigate EMC/EMI problems.
  • Experience with high perfomance analog systems including: phased array radar, ultrasound beam forming, MRI multi-transmit systems
