About Bridge Neurotech
Bridge Neurotech is building a non-invasive functional ultrasound imaging (fUSI) platform with AI-based neural decoding for brain-computer interface applications. We are a seed-stage neurotechnology company developing technology that has the potential to transform how we interact with the human brain.
About the role:
We are looking for an Electrical Engineering Lead to own the architecture strategy and delivery of the electronic systems behind Bridge’s custom ultrasound hardware: from system partitioning and component selection through schematic, layout, bring-up, and validated hardware.
Two design challenges sit at the center of this role. The first is high-speed I/O: moving raw acquisition data off the front-end over multi-gigabit-per-second links, with a focus on designing for signal integrity, clocking, and proper layout. The second is power delivery: multi-rail systems operating at watts of power, designed for efficiency and thermal headroom.
You will interface with ASICs at register level, write Python daily for bring-up and test automation, and know enough firmware to collaborate efficiently with our embedded systems team.
What you’ll do:
Own the end-to-end electronics architecture of Bridge’s custom imaging hardware: system partitioning, component selection, schematic capture, PCB layout oversight, bring-up, and design validation.
Design and deliver boards with multi-gigabit-per-second serial links (e.g., LVDS, JESD204, PCIe/USB 3.x-class SerDes), owning signal integrity, impedance control, clocking, and high-speed layout.
Architect watts-class power delivery: multi-rail regulation, sequencing, efficiency, thermal design, and noise isolation for sensitive analog acquisition circuitry.
Evaluate, select, and integrate ultrasound transmit/receive ASICs and analog front-ends: own the electrical interface to custom silicon and drive vendor relationships.
Co-define the hardware/software boundary with the Embedded Systems Lead: digital interface definition, control plane, and data path. Write firmware where it accelerates bring-up.
Build Python-based bring-up, characterization, and automated test tooling for every board revision.
Lead board bring-up, debug, and failure analysis; manage PCB fabrication and assembly vendors and drive design reviews.
Mentor the R&D Engineer, reviewing their schematics, layouts, and test methodology.
Lay the documentation and design-control groundwork for eventual development in a regulated environment.
Who you are: Required
Degree in electrical engineering or related field, with 6+ years of hands-on board-level design experience and multiple custom boards taken through production or production-equivalent builds.
Extended experience with high-speed digital board design: multi-gigabit-per-second serial links, controlled-impedance routing, and signal/power integrity analysis.
Demonstrated design of power delivery systems operating at watts of power: switching regulators, multi-rail architectures, sequencing, and thermal management.
Working understanding of ASICs and how to interface with them: register-level configuration, electrical integration of custom silicon or analog front-ends, and informed dialogue with silicon vendors.
Enough firmware fluency to write some embedded code yourself and work effectively day-to-day with an embedded systems engineer.
Good command of Python for bring-up scripts, automated test, and data analysis.
Experience from consumer electronics or other high-volume consumer products, where cost, manufacturability, and iteration speed were real constraints.
Nice to have:
Familiarity with hardware design in regulated environments (e.g., IEC 60601, design controls, medical or similar).
Prior work on ultrasound, imaging, or other high-channel-count data acquisition front-ends, including AFE/ADC characterization.
FPGA familiarity, enough to reason about the interface between your boards and programmable logic.
EMC/EMI pre-compliance and debug experience.
Early-stage startup experience where you set the hardware roadmap yourself.
What we offer: The opportunity to shape a role and a team from the earliest stages.
Direct collaboration with leading clinicians and neuroscientists at top-tier academic institutions.
Excellent medical benefits and a 6% match 401(k).
Bridge Neurotech is an equal opportunity employer. We encourage candidates of all backgrounds to apply.
