## Description (the employer's text)

### About Nudge

At Nudge, our mission is to develop the best technology for interfacing with the brain to improve people's lives. We're starting with an approach that we believe can help the most people the fastest, and also allow us to learn as much about the brain as possible: developing a non-invasive, ultrasound-based device that can stimulate and image the brain at high resolution and depth. This is a vertically integrated effort building cutting-edge hardware, software, and research capabilities to create products that can benefit millions — and eventually billions — of people.

To succeed, we need to assemble world-class teams across everything we do. We hire people who are exceptional at their craft, believe hard things are worth doing, and execute relentlessly — people who expect the highest levels of both rigor and integrity from each other.

### About the role

As a firmware engineer at Nudge, you will:

Deliver high-quality, safety-critical C, C++, Rust, and Verilog code for use in real-time embedded environments

Contribute to embedded hardware architecture decisions and component selection

Implement on-device algorithms for targeted stimulation and imaging

Perform bringup and debugging of embedded systems

Work closely with electrical, mechanical, and software engineers to design embedded systems at the core of our product

Contribute to documentation and analysis necessary for regulatory compliance

### About you

We are looking for firmware engineers with at least 3 years of industry experience. Regardless of career level, you should have:

Strong engineering / physics first principles

A degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or similar engineering discipline

Exceptional proficiency in Rust, C, C++, Verilog

A demonstrated history of exceptional technical contribution

High integrity and strong professional judgement
