The Role
We are looking for an Embedded Systems Engineer who thrives at the intersection of hardware and software. You’ll take ownership of the design, implementation, and testing of low-power Bluetooth devices, working from prototype to production across embedded firmware, electronics integration, and system-level optimization.
This is a hands-on role for an engineer who enjoys building real devices — thinking deeply about power, latency, and communication efficiency — while collaborating with AI and neuroscience teams exploring the frontier of intelligent systems.
Develop and optimize firmware for low-power, connected embedded systems (BLE / BT 5.x)
Design and debug embedded architectures using STM32, Nordic nRF, ESP32, or similar microcontrollers
Implement communication protocols (BLE GATT, SPI, I²C, UART) and data streaming interfaces
Implement ASIC and FPGA optimization
Work closely with hardware and mechanical engineers to refine PCB layouts and sensor integration
Build test infrastructure for firmware validation, including scripting (Python) and CI pipelines
Collaborate with AI and data science teams on embedded-to-cloud data interfaces
Contribute to system-level design discussions around efficiency, reliability, and scalability
You’re a builder — someone who makes things work in the real world. You have a history of creating both software and physical devices, whether in research labs, startups, or personal projects. You thrive on solving cross-disciplinary challenges and are driven by curiosity, not just specification sheets.
You:
Think in systems — from PCB traces to software stacks
Have experience with low-power or battery-operated devices
Are fluent in C/C++ for embedded development and comfortable with Python for tooling or automation
Value clarity, creativity, and rigor
Are motivated by long-term impact, not short-term hacks
Have interest or experience in neuroscience, biomedical devices, or AI (ideal but not required)
Degree in Electrical, Electronic, Computer Engineering, or related field
3+ years of hands-on embedded development experience
Strong knowledge of Bluetooth LE and wireless communication fundamentals
Familiarity with RTOS environments and low-level debugging tools
Experience with Linux-based development workflows and version control (Git)
Understanding of power optimization and hardware–software integration
Experience with biosignal acquisition, neurotech devices, or sensor fusion
PCB design exposure (KiCad, Altium, or similar)
Experience deploying embedded ML or edge-AI models
Contributions to open-source or research projects
A research-driven environment bridging neuroscience, embedded systems, and AI
Flexible hybrid setup — work from a London lab or remotely
Competitive salary with equity participation
Opportunity to contribute to groundbreaking technology with real human impact
Small, interdisciplinary team committed to rigor, openness, and creativity
