Hardware & Embedded Engineer

Lumius is building fast, smart, accessible 3D ultrasound systems that make real-time volumetric imaging more practical and intuitive. As a Hardware & Embedded Engineer, you will help with the electronics behind our compact ultrasound acquisition platform.

What you'll work on

• Design the transmit front end, including a high-voltage pulser and transmit/receive switching that protects the receive path.

• Build the receive front end, including variable-gain amplification, anti-alias filtering, and high-speed ADC integration.

• Bring up low-power MCU systems and, where useful, small FPGA blocks for transmit timing, gain control, sampling, buffering, and synchronization.

• Write embedded C/C++ firmware for timing-critical acquisition, peripheral bring-up, ADC interfacing, power states, and BLE/Wi-Fi communication.

• Design compact multilayer wearable PCBs that keep high-voltage, analog, RF, and digital domains cleanly separated.

• Optimize battery operation through efficient regulation, duty-cycling, throughput management, and careful latency/power tradeoffs.

• Build and test the wireless and host-side data path that streams ultrasound data reliably from device to application.

• Debug across the full hardware loop: schematic, layout, firmware, measurement, signal integrity, power, and prototype iteration.

• Who we're looking for

• BS or MS in Electrical Engineering or a related field, or equivalent hands-on experience.

• 3+ years building real hardware, with exceptional new graduates considered when they have strong project, startup, or research work.

• Depth in at least one of RF/analog hardware, embedded firmware, or PCB design, with the desire to grow across the full system.

• Hands-on mixed-signal PCB design experience in Altium or similar tools, including grounding, return paths, and high-voltage/analog isolation.

• Strong embedded C/C++ on microcontrollers, including peripheral bring-up, timing-critical control, ADC interfacing, and BLE or Wi-Fi stacks.

• Comfort moving quickly from design to bench validation, using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum tools, and practical measurement to find the truth.

• A high-ownership builder mindset: you can make progress in ambiguity, communicate clearly, and iterate without waiting for hand-offs.

• Good to have

• Experience with ultrasound systems, piezoelectric transducers, medical devices, or other regulated hardware.

• High-voltage or high-speed analog and mixed-signal design experience.

• Low-power, battery-powered system design with power management and duty-cycling.

• Ultrasound signal processing experience, such as envelope detection, A-mode, or M-mode.

• Prior experience at an early-stage startup or in a small, high-ownership engineering team.
