We believe the rapid and accurate quantification of a broad array of biomarkers will unlock new insights and revolutionize health and wellness.

Our founding team comprises Stanford professors, successful serial entrepreneurs (10+ companies combined), and individuals with experience at top-tier VC firms. We are looking for passionate, talented, and hardworking individuals to join our innovative team and help realize our vision.

About the Company

Adaptyx Biosciences is seeking a Senior Embedded Systems Engineer to lead the firmware/software (FW/SW) development of our wearable continuous molecular monitoring device as we prototype towards our first product. This role focuses on designing, prototyping, and optimizing embedded systems for low-power, wearable biosensors that integrate seamlessly with our proprietary molecular sensing platform. As a key team member, you will collaborate with cross-disciplinary scientists and engineers to create high-performance embedded solutions, ensuring robust integration of hardware, firmware, and software.

Responsibilities:

• Lead the design, development, and prototyping of FW/SW systems for our wearable biosensor platform.
• Collaborate with hardware and software teams to integrate molecular sensing components into a compact, low-power wearable platform.
• Develop firmware for microcontrollers and low-power SoCs to support sensor operation and data acquisition.
• Develop software applications for interfacing with the biosensor system.
• Conduct hardware testing, debugging, and performance tuning to optimize system reliability and accuracy.
• Implement wireless communication interfaces (e.g., Bluetooth, BLE, or similar) to transmit real-time data to companion devices.
• Create and maintain detailed technical documentation, including schematics, design specifications, and test procedures.
• Stay current with emerging trends in wearable technology and embedded systems to guide future development.

Required Qualifications:

• BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• 7+years of experience developing FW/HW for low-power, compact devices.
• Proficiency in C/C++ for embedded firmware development and Python for data analysis and hardware validation.
• Strong understanding of hardware-software integration and experience with microcontroller platforms (e.g., Nordic, ARM Cortex, STM32).
• Experience developing systems for wearable or biosensing devices .
• Experience with communication protocols such as SPI, I2C, UART , and Bluetooth/BLE .
• Proficiency in software development for data analysis and visualization (e.g. scripts, databases, PC applications, web applications, etc.).
• Proficiency in bringing up, debugging and testing embedded hardware using tools like oscilloscopes, etc.
• Strong organizational and problem-solving skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Hands-on experience with PCB design, layout, and prototyping tools.
• Familiarity with low-power circuit design and optimization techniques.
• Knowledge of analog front-end design for sensor integration.
• Experience developing hardware and/or FW/SW for medical devices in compliance with regulatory standards (e.g., FDA, ISO 13485, IEC 60601, IEC 62304) and DFM practices.
• Familiarity with Design Control processes, including requirements management, risk analysis (e.g., FMEA), and verification/validation testing.
