Embedded Software Engineer Intern, Implant Embedded Systems

Embedded Software Engineer Intern, Implant Embedded SystemsWe are creating devices that enable a bi-directional interface with the brain. These devices allow us to restore movement to the paralyzed, restore sight to the blind, and revolutionize how humans interact with their digital world.The Brain Interfaces Embedded Systems Team, a division of the Brain Interfaces Hardware Department, owns the development of high-performance, safety-critical embedded systems for the next-generation of brain-computer interfaces. As a key member of our team, you will gain hands-on training, work alongside accomplished mentors, and contribute to real-world projects.Job Description and Responsibilities: We are looking for experienced, hands-on engineers who are interested in exploring what's possible in highly powered and latency-constrained environments. Firmware is the kernel of operation for the implant and you have the chance to determine and implement features that have a massive impact on the product's capabilities. You will have the opportunity to collaborate closely with chip designers, electrical engineers, algorithms engineers, and software engineers on a small, agile team. The job responsibilities will include:Building on your ability to work cross functionally, working with engineers who deliver safety-critical systems while considering power, radio, and thermal requirementsGaining an understanding of delivering products and/or core features from planning and design to execution and testingGrowing your fundamental understanding of hardware while contributing to bare-metal firmware in CContributing to codebase organization, prioritizing modular formats that allow for elegant hardware bifurcation in the fieldDeveloping the ability to contribute to system improvements that decrease latency and increase battery life, reliability, and safetyRequired Qualifications:2+ years of experience with embedded systemsProficient in C/C++, and PythonKnowledge of MCU architectures, peripherals, and development environmentsComfortable reading electrical schematics and datasheetsDeep knowledge of the embedded toolchains and workflowStrong EE & DSP fundamentalsHW/SW debugging skills with lab equipmentPreferred Qualifications:Experience with embedded stacks for ARM coresExperience with safety-critical systemsExperience with FPGA development and testingExperience with RF, BLE, and TCP/IP stacks from a practical embedded perspectivePrior work or experience with applied cryptography and embedded systems securityExpected Compensation:The anticipated hourly rate for this position is listed below.California Hourly Flat Rate: $35/Hr USDWhat We Offer:An opportunity to change the world and work with some of the smartest and most talented experts from different fieldsGrowth potential; we rapidly advance team members who have an outsized impactExcellent medical, dental, and vision insurance through a PPO planPaid holidaysCommuter benefitsMeals providedEquity (RSUs) *Temporary Employees & Interns excluded401(k) plan *Interns initially excluded until they work 1,000 hoursParental leave *Temporary Employees & Interns excludedFlexible time off *Temporary Employees & Interns excluded
