Analog Design Engineer - Neuromodulation
IC Enable Analog Design Engineer - Neuromodulation
Own and lead the development of analog integrated circuits for neuromodulation medical devices—from first principles through silicon and into real-world use. You’ll work on ultra-low-power designs that interface directly with the human nervous system, contributing to technologies that have a meaningful impact on patient care. This includes restoring function, monitoring neurological conditions, and enabling new therapeutic approaches.
We are seeking an experienced Analog Circuit Design Engineer with 7+ years of experience in custom mixed-signal circuit design, specifically focused on neural sensing and stimulation technologies for medical and implantable applications. Strong experience across the following areas is desired: design of ultra-low-power front-ends for sensing neural signals (EEG, EMG), high-efficiency stimulator output stages, power management architectures, data converters, low-noise and low-power amplifiers, RF wireless data transmission (FSK, ASK), and CT filters.
The ideal candidate will have experience supporting implantable hardware design and bioelectronics systems requiring high reliability, low power consumption, and compliance with medical safety standards. We value a quality-driven mindset, strong communication skills, and a startup-oriented approach—taking ownership, staying adaptable, and contributing wherever needed to move the work forward.
