ABOUT ORBIT We're a team of engineers, neuroscientists, and designers working to deepen our understanding of the human brain. We're building a wearable brain-computer interface and models that decode emotion, with the goal of putting human experience and wellbeing at the center of technology. Our work spans neural sensors, embedded systems, scientific software, and AI. We're venture funded, with backing from founders and executives across AI, neurotechnology, consumer hardware, and pharmaceuticals, including Google, Hugging Face, Apple, Stability, Microsoft, and Dropbox. ABOUT THE ROLE Help turn a sophisticated optical sensing system into a high-performance wearable for understanding the brain. You'll shape how our wearable acquires, processes, and delivers neural measurements, working closely with hardware and signal-processing engineers. Our platform combines C++23, embedded Linux built with the Yocto Project, and modern sensing hardware, with gRPC and Protocol Buffers (Protobuf) connecting acquisition software to the wider system. We tackle deep design challenges in timing, concurrency, memory, and throughput. The embedded firmware you design will directly empower individuals with insights into their own brain. YOU WILL - Develop the C++ software that controls acquisition, configures peripherals, runs self-tests, and manages recording sessions. - Design and optimize the path from raw sensor frames through on-device signal processing to a timestamped network stream. - Evolve our Yocto-based Linux platform, including application integration, system configuration, and reproducible builds. - Solve timing, concurrency, memory, and throughput challenges across a high-performance wearable. - Collaborate with hardware and FPGA engineers to bring new sensing capabilities to life. - Build automated tests, performance measurements, and development tools that make the acquisition system reliable and scalable. YOU ARE - An engineer with a degree in computer science, electrica…
