Adaptyx Biosciences is an early-stage biotechnology company on a mission to reinvent healthcare by developing the world’s first truly generalizable biosensor platform.
We are seeking a Senior Embedded Systems Engineer to lead the firmware/software (FW/SW) development of our wearable continuous molecular monitoring device as we prototype towards our first product. This role focuses on designing, prototyping, and optimizing embedded systems for low-power, wearable biosensors that integrate seamlessly with our proprietary molecular sensing platform. As a key team member, you will collaborate with cross-disciplinary scientists and engineers to create high-performance embedded solutions, ensuring robust integration of hardware, firmware, and software.
Required Qualifications: • BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field. • 7+ years of experience developing FW/HW for low-power, compact devices. • Proficiency in C/C++ for embedded firmware development. • Strong understanding of hardware-software integration and experience with microcontroller platforms (e.g., Nordic, ARM Cortex, STM32). • Experience with communication protocols such as SPI, I2C, UART, and Bluetooth/BLE. • Proficiency in software development for data analysis and visualization. • Experience with Python for data analysis and hardware validation. • Proficiency in bringing up, debugging and testing embedded hardware using tools like oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and power meters. • Hands-on experience with PCB design, layout, and prototyping tools. • Familiarity with low-power circuit design and optimization techniques. • Strong organizational and problem-solving skills. • Self-starter with the ability to prioritize projects to meet deadlines. • Strong interpersonal skills and desire to collaborate on interdisciplinary projects within a dynamic biotech startup environment. Preferred Qualifications: • Experience developing hardware for wearable or biosensing devices. • Knowledge of analog front-end design for sensor integration. • Experience developing hardware and firmware for medical devices in compliance with regulatory standards (e.g., FDA, ISO 13485) and DFM practices. • Familiarity with Design Control processes, including requirements management, risk analysis (e.g., FMEA), and verification/validation testing. • Knowledge of IEC 60601 standards for electrical safety and performance of medical Devices Please apply to Kimberly.nevin(a)adaptyx.bio
● Are self-motivated and can work independently
● Have experience with many languages but can be effective in any language
● Appreciate that all mature software solutions accumulate technical debt and understand how to continually reduce debt and complexity
● Understand how to build highly reliable systems and be responsible for taking code to production
● Understand that code simplicity and readability are more important for long term maintainability
● Want to work on challenging problems and impactful work without being micromanaged
We're hiring across disciplines for engineers who work with Unix and have fluent written and spoken English:
● Backend Servers: Strong in C, Concurrency and Distributed Computing
● Backend Servers: Strong in Java
Full-time only. Remote only. We start out on a full-time trial contract basis for up to 3 months and use this period as an extended work interview for both sides to assess fit for long-term employment.
Please email hn.remote.jobs@vdx.tv if this sounds like the right fit for you.
We recently announced $14.4 million in funding to make blockchains & digital assets useful for the world. Founded by Jump Crypto alumni and core contributors to the Solana protocol and the Firedancer client (https://github.com/firedancer-io/firedancer), we’re tackling fundamental scalability, performance, and usability challenges in distributed ledgers. Our runtime conforms to the RISC-V specification—moving away from domain-specific VMs and bespoke compiler toolchains that limit developer and institutional adoption. Components are developed in C for maximal control over performance and resource usage.
Interesting problems you’ll tackle:
- Building and testing high-performance subsystems in C (cryptographic routines, consensus primitives, networking protocols)
- Designing robust process isolation on modern CPU architectures and tile-based multi-core layouts
- Optimizing memory hierarchies, cache utilization, and low-level I/O for commodity servers
You:
- 5+ years of systems programming in C/C++, Rust, or similar
- Deep expertise in CPU microarchitecture, memory subsystems, and low-level performance tuning
- Strong understanding of distributed systems design and consensus protocols
- Experience with high-performance networking and protocol design in real-time environments
