Engineering a future without cancer deaths. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
This role owns the measurement chain from sensor to reported result: readout electronics, signal processing, and the algorithms to turn raw sensor data into a quantitative output. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or related field
- 5+ years developing signal acquisition and processing for medical or scientific instruments, with at least one product through FDA clearance
- Low-noise analog design and mixed-signal system experience
- Python and C/C++ (or Rust)
- Experience defining and running analytical performance studies
More about this role
Numen is a San Francisco-based team building technology to drive cancer mortality toward zero. Our goal is to compress every patient's journey from the first signal of disease to optimal treatment with earlier, easier detection. Backed by Y Combinator, we are a dynamic team across bioscience, engineering, machine learning, and design, building diagnostics from the ground up.
This role owns the measurement chain from sensor to reported result: readout electronics, signal processing, and the algorithms to turn raw sensor data into a quantitative output.
- Define readout architecture for sensor arrays: excitation, lock-in/demodulation, ADC selection, noise budgeting
- Develop and validate signal processing and calibration algorithms (drift correction, temperature compensation, baseline estimation, multiplex deconvolution)
- Characterize noise sources and set instrument specifications from assay requirements.
- Implement algorithms in firmware and/or host software with version control, unit tests, and traceability to requirements
- Specify and execute analytical verification: precision, linearity, interference, and robustness studies per CLSI guidance
- Support hardware V&V, design...
