Tasks

Thus far, high speed data acquisition and processing in our prototypes has been done using off-the-shelf FPGA boards. We are looking to transition from this phase to custom boards that fit our needs better, and are looking for a talented electrical engineer to:

• Understand the current prototype, especially the choice of components, PCB designand verilog code, and optimize/consolidate the design for performance and manufacturing.
• Propose alternative designs/technologies to increase data acquisition and processing to thousands of channels.
• Communicate validated verilog modules to integrated circuit design team.
• Constantly identify design improvements and be able to rapidly integrate newdesign ideas.
• Maintain hardware version control documentation.

Qualifications and skills

• M.Sc. or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or a closely related field.
• 5+ years of industry experience, especially in bringing prototypes and proof-of concept stage designs to an industrial or production-ready stage.
• Complete knowledge of PCB design best practices and familiarity with common design tools (ideally open source, like KiCad).
• Working knowledge of Verilog/VHDL code deployed on FPGA systems.
• Experience with optical components and sensors is a strong plus.
• Working knowledge of PCB assembly.
• Experience interfacing with biological systems is a plus, though not required.

Offer

Our offer includes:

• a salary range of $150k – $170k per year depending on qualification and degree of match with opportunities for very rapid advancement.
• additional performance bonuses and stock options awarded.
• comprehensive health benefits, catered meals served on site.
• paid time off, choice between several vacation policy.
• Earliest start date is immediately.
