Firmware Engineer, Element Science Inc. (San Francisco, CA)

THE COMPANY: We develop technologies at the
intersection of wearable devices, precision
medicine, and lifesaving therapeutics. Our first
product -- funded by Google Ventures and Third
Rock Ventures -- aims to redefine treatment for
sudden cardiac death. Come join our growing team
of engineers, successful entrepreneurs, and
medical device professionals if you are
interested in making a real difference in
patients' lives and shaping the future of med tech in Silicon Valley.

THE ROLE: Element Science is building a world
class medical device firmware development team.
We are looking for developers with a passion for
microcontrollers (you'd rather read a mixed
signal SOC reference manual than a novel),
performance optimization (you know how to squeeze
as much useful processing out of every clock
cycle as humanly possible), and building safety
critical applications (writing software is fun,
but not very satisfying if it is not saving
lives). The engineer filling this role will
participate in the design and implementation of
the software that will set the course for all of
the company’s future work. He or she will
interact with electrical engineers, UX designers,
algorithm experts, and data scientists. If you
have a proven track record of delivering robust,
production quality, safety critical embedded
software, we would love to talk to you.

DELIVERABLES:
* Design and implement embedded software for a Class III medical device.
* Create production code that is a dream to
maintain and test because it is extremely well
documented, modular, and instrumented.
* Port a standard RTOS to custom hardware
* Establish MISRA compliance
* Create performance measurement tools
* Create automated test environment
* Create design verification firmware ï‚·

QUALIFICATIONS:
* B.S. or higher in computer science or engineering
* 5+ Years of embedded software development experience
* 5+ years of C/C++ medical device experience
* Recent RTOS Experience (e.g., FreeRTOS, QNX, VxWorks, etc.)
* ARM microcontroller experience
* Excellent written and verbal communication skills

Interested candidates should send a cover letter
and resume to <mailto:chris_at_elementsci.com>chris_at_elementsci.com.
