Company

hirify.global develops non-surgical brain–computer interfaces and implantable neuroelectronics to help people with paralysis interact with digital systems and support cognitive function.

What you will do

• Own the end-to-end electrical architecture of implantable devices, including neural acquisition, mixed-signal processing, power regulation, and RF telemetry.
• Lead schematic design, component selection, circuit simulation, ASIC integration, and silicon bring-up planning.
• Develop miniaturized, high-density PCB and flex-rigid assemblies, including layout reviews, signal-integrity analysis, and manufacturing constraints.
• Design power delivery, energy harvesting and storage, wireless communication links, power budgets, and duty-cycling strategies.
• Define and execute electrical verification, validation, environmental, EMC/EMI, reliability, and failure-analysis activities.
• Support cross-functional integration with firmware, mechanical, and systems engineering teams, contract manufacturers, and test houses.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or a related discipline.
• 8+ years of experience in analog or mixed-signal hardware design for miniaturized, high-reliability electronic systems.
• Expertise in low-noise neural or bioelectric front-end design, including amplifier chains, ADC interfacing, and filtering.
• Strong experience with high-density PCB and flex-circuit design in space-constrained systems.
• Proficiency with EDA tools such as Altium or Cadence and circuit-simulation tools.
• Hands-on experience taking electronic subsystems from prototype through design verification and into production.

Nice to have

• Experience with active implantable medical devices such as neurostimulators, cochlear implants, or cardiac rhythm devices.
• ASIC integration or co-design experience, RF or wireless telemetry design, and power management for energy-constrained implants.
• Familiarity with ISO 14708, IEC 60601, ISO 14971, FDA guidance, and regulatory submissions such as IDE, PMA, or 510(k).
