Embedded Systems Engineer

NerveX builds devices and software that connect patients, healthcare providers, and AI. We turn real-world clinical signals into better decisions and faster workflows.

We’re transforming healthcare starting with our NXVET® technology in veterinary medicine, while building a platform that extends to human healthcare applications. Our foundations are built on 9 years of research at the University of Toronto , with patents and publications behind our AI-driven device technology.

We are proud alumni of UTEST and the Creative Destruction Lab (CDL) . NerveX has been recognized with awards including the Connaught Innovation Award and the RBC Prize for Innovation and Entrepreneurship . After demonstrating efficacy in pilot clinics, we’re now scaling deployments and product iterations.

By joining us, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute to a transformative phase in veterinary medicine and help shape the future of healthcare through AI-driven device technology.

Job Description :

We’re looking for a hands‑on Embedded Systems Engineer who can contribute across the embedded stack, from firmware development to hardware design and PCB iteration to manual prototype assembly and bring‑up . You don’t need to be an expert in everything on day one, but you must be the kind of person who learns fast, debugs relentlessly, and takes pride in shipping working systems.

A core expectation : you’re proficient at augmenting your work with AI copilots (e.g., Cursor , Claude Code , and similar tools). We want someone who uses these tools to move faster without compromising quality, safety, or clarity.

We’re open to different seniority levels; scope and compensation scale with experience.

Responsibilities

• Design, implement, test, and debug embedded firmware in C / C++ (plus scripting / test automation in Python ).
• Work with common embedded protocols and peripherals ( SPI, I2C, UART, GPIO, ADC , etc.).
• Support RF‑enabled embedded systems (e.g., BLE , Wi‑Fi, or other ISM radios), including performance debugging.
• Read schematics, datasheets, and hardware interfaces confidently; collaborate tightly across HW / SW boundaries.
• Contribute to schematic capture and PCB layout (Altium preferred; KiCad / other acceptable).
• Perform prototype assembly , rework, cable / connector work, and bench bring‑up; document build / test procedures.
• Debug systems using lab tools ( oscilloscope, logic analyzer, power supply, DMM ); root‑cause issues methodically.
• Apply best practices for power , reliability , and manufacturability as prototypes evolve toward production.
• Maintain clear documentation (design notes, test plans, bring‑up checklists, known‑issues logs).
• Use AI copilots effectively for code, schematics review, test generation, and documentation—while validating outputs and keeping a high engineering bar.

Qualifications

In addition to the required skills, we would love to see experience in the following areas, though these are not mandatory :
