<http://elementscience.com>Element Science, a
medical device startup in SF, is looking to hire a full-time Firmware Engineer.
For questions or to apply, send a short
introduction letter and resume to Karen Ladenheim
at <mailto:karen_at_elementsci.com>karen_at_elementsci.com.

Element Science agrees with Stanford's employer recruiting guidelines.


Company Description:


Element Science is a San Francisco based medical
device and digital health company at the
intersection of wearable devices, precision
medicine, and lifesaving therapeutics.


The company was founded in 2011 by Uday Kumar,
MD, a cardiac electrophysiologist by training,
and founder of iRhythm (IRTC), a publicly traded
medical device wearable company focused on cardiac rhythm diagnosis.


Element Science is developing a wearable platform
solution with proprietary technology in wearable
patches, electrical design, machine learning
algorithms, and digital solutions. The platform
is being used to address different leading causes
of death and hospitalization due to heart
disease. The first product aims to redefine the
treatment for temporary periods of elevated Sudden Cardiac Death risk.


Summary of Firmware Engineer Role:
Element Science is building a world class medical
device firmware development team. We are looking
for developers with a passion for
micro-controllers (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
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
    * Assembly experience with at least one 32-bit core
    * Recent RTOS Experience (e.g., FreeRTOS, QNX, VxWorks, etc.)
    * ARM microcontroller experience
    * Excellent written and verbal communication skills
