About the role
+++ About SiPhox Health +++ SiPhox is bringing silicon-photonics diagnostics out of the central lab and into the home. We combine photonics, microfluidics, embedded systems, and semiconductor-grade manufacturing to quantify multiple biomarkers in minutes on a coffee-maker-sized device1 aiming to build the first mass-market photonic blood analyzer to improve chronic disease care and increase human healthspan. +++ The Opportunity +++ We99re hiring an Embedded AI Systems Engineer to architect and own the firmware layer that runs the instrument end-to-end: optics, fluidics, thermal control, sensing, motion, safety, and UX. You99ll define the real-time behaviors that make a complex, multi-domain system operate with medical-grade precision and reliability, partnering closely across EE, systems, assay, photonics, fluidics, mechanical, and software. +++ What You99ll Do +++
- Build production embedded firmware: HALs, RT state machines, event-driven control, inter-module comms
- Convert system needs into clear, testable requirements and designs
- Implement/optimize machine vision + signal processing for electromechanical accuracy
- Develop bootloaders, calibration flows, diagnostics, and test/fixture firmware
- Lead bring-up V&V commercial release, integrating across sensors, motion, fluidics, photonics, and cloud/app
- Own reliability/safety: hazard analysis, FMEA inputs, fault-tolerant behaviors,... verification automation + traceability
- Debug complex system issues; optimize timing,... memory,... performance
+++ What We99re Looking For +++ Must-have
- Strong C/C++ for embedded (drivers,... real-time control)
- RTOS experience (e.g., FreeRTOS/Zephyr/ThreadX/VxWorks)
- Experience with common MCU families (STM32/ESP32/NXP/Nordic or similar)
- Motion/electromechanical control (steppers/servos,... closed-loop control)
- Proven firmware architecture ownership + excellent cross-disciplinary debugging
- BS in EE/CE/CS (or equivalent), US work authorization,... occasional travel (<10%)
- Top-tier work ethic,... ownership mindset
