Boston, United States Nia-therapeutics Full time

At Nia Therapeutics, we are engineering solutions at the frontier of neuroscience to make memory loss reversible. We are a team of scientists and engineers developing advanced implantable brain stimulation devices to reverse memory loss from brain injury and degenerative disease. Our core technology, developed at the University of Pennsylvania and funded by DARPA, is built on a foundation of human clinical studies that demonstrate its efficacy. This is a rare opportunity to help develop a product that will not only improve patient lives but also redefine what's possible in neural engineering. JOB SUMMARY We are looking for an exceptional junior embedded software engineer to join our team in building our smart neuromodulation platform for memory restoration. The successful applicant will play a key role in developing and enhancing the firmware for our implantable and wearable devices, including the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) interface with a patient-facing mobile application. This will shape how patients interact with the world’s first memory-restoring implantable device. WHAT YOU WILL DO Develop embedded firmware in C to support BLE communication between an implantable device and mobile appsDesign and implement custom GATT services and characteristics to enable secure, low-latency data exchangeSupport real-time signal processing, sensor interfaces, and closed-loop control logicContribute to the design of system-level communication protocols across implant, wearable, and cloud platformsHelp build automated test systems for wireless and embedded functionality REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS BS in Electrical Engineering or Computer ScienceStrong programming skills in C for embedded systems2+ years professional or project experience working on embedded systemsHands-on experience developing and debugging BLE firmware, including custom profiles and characteristicsUnderstanding of BLE stack behavior (advertising, connection parameters, bonding, encryption)Comfortable working with microcontroller toolchains, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzersAbility to read datasheets and electrical schematics and develop device driversStrong troubleshooting, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills PREFERRED SKILLS Experience with ST or Nordic microcontrollersRTOS based firmware development (e.g. FreeRTOS, Zephyr)Hands-on experience developing and debugging Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) communication protocols, including creating custom GATT services and characteristicsExperience integrating mobile applications with embedded firmware, ensuring robust and reliable data exchangeExperience developing active implantable medical devices, medical device quality systems, standards (e.g. ISO-14708) and risk management activities (e.g. FMEA)Proficiency in cross-platform (Android, iOS) mobile application developmentBroad circuit design experience including analog, digital, power supply and comms functionsSetting up and maintaining testing environments for hardware and software systems OUR CULTURE This position is 5 days per week in person based in Boston, MA. We’re a small team tackling big challenges. We move quickly, think rigorously, and care deeply about the impact of our work. If you’re excited by the idea of helping build a product that integrates neuroscience, embedded systems, and mobile UX, and you’re eager to grow in a fast-paced startup, we’d love to meet you.
