Electrical Engineer, Bioengineering

Subsense, 319 N Bernardo Ave, Mountain View, CA 94043

The role

Design and develop electronics and integrated hardware for emerging neurotechnology and medical-device systems. You’ll start on a magnetic navigation project within our Bioengineering team, building the hardware that generates, drives, and measures magnetic fields. Over time you’ll support other experimental hardware as technical needs evolve. You’ll take hardware from early concepts and lab prototypes through characterization, verification, and preparation for manufacturing.

You’ll work closely with specialists in bioengineering, neuroscience, mechanical engineering, and software, and you’ll translate experimental requirements into reliable, measurable system performance.

What you will do

Design drive, control, and interface electronics for neurotechnology and medical-device systems, including waveform generation, power amplification, impedance matching, sensing, and transducer or actuator interfaces.
Develop analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuits, owning schematic capture, PCB layout collaboration, board bring-up, and debugging.
Translate application and experimental requirements into electrical specifications, including operating frequency, output power, timing, duty cycle, channel synchronization, and sensing requirements.
Integrate transducers or other stimulation/sensing hardware, power supplies, embedded controllers, sensors, and software into working prototypes.
Build automated test setups to characterize electrical performance, transducer loading, efficiency, thermal behavior, and repeatability.
Partner with acoustics specialists to correlate electrical measurements with acoustic output and identify the causes of performance variation.
Implement monitoring, fault detection, interlocks, and protective circuitry appropriate to the device’s intended use.
Document design decisions, test methods, and verification results; contribute to risk analysis and design reviews.
Work with suppliers and manufacturing partners to improve component selection, assembly, testability, and reliability.

What You Bring Must-have experience

Master’s degree in electrical engineering, biomedical engineering with a strong electronics focus, or equivalent practical experience.
Hands-on experience developing electronics for medical devices, neurotechnology, instrumentation, or related experimental hardware, ideally with exposure to a research lab environment.
Strong grounding in analog and mixed-signal design, power electronics, signal integrity, grounding, and noise reduction.
Experience designing drive, interface, or impedance-matching circuits for transducers or coils, actuators, sensors, or other electrically driven hardware, with an understanding of how electrical loading affects system performance.
Ability to take a PCB from schematic through bring-up and systematic troubleshooting.
Proficiency with oscilloscopes, signal generators, and relevant impedance, network, or spectrum measurement equipment.
Experience using Python, MATLAB, or similar tools for instrument control, data analysis, and test automation.
Ability to translate ambiguous requirements into practical experiments and clearly communicate findings across engineering and scientific teams.
