Firmware Engineering

Echo Neurotechnologies is an exciting new startup in the Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) space, driving innovation through advanced hardware engineering and AI solutions. Our mission is to deliver cutting-edge technologies that restore autonomy to people living with disabilities and improve their quality of life.

We emphasize continuous learning and growth, fostering cross-functional collaboration where your contributions are vital to our success.

As a Firmware Engineer , you will be responsible for developing high quality, robust, scalable and testable firmware that runs on Echo's medical devices. You will participate in decision-making processes related to firmware, software, and electronics. You will be involved with the device's full life cycle development, from gathering product requirements and design inputs, to developing the firmware that meets those needs, and to enabling testing, verification and validation of that firmware.
