Careers at FFBIO
Join our team and help shape the future of medical imaging and bio-analysis.
Hardware Systems Lead / Integration PM
Build the EVT-0 QPCI prototype end-to-end. This role owns requirements, interfaces, build cadence, and cross-discipline integration—turning separate subsystems into a reliable, testable, wearable prototype. Fractional / full-time contractoptions available during the EVT-0 sprint.
Responsibilities
-
Own the system plan: requirements, interfaces, BOM, integration schedule, and acceptance criteria.
-
Coordinate EE, firmware, mechanical, and specialist contractors through build + bring-up.
-
Drive bench-to-demo readiness: test plans, gating reviews, and “definition of done” per milestone.
-
Maintain documentation discipline: interface control docs, build notes, verification artifacts.
Qualifications
-
Proven experience leading early-stage hardware prototypes from concept → working demo.
-
Strong systems thinking across mixed-signal electronics, firmware, and mechanical constraints.
-
Comfortable with rapid iteration, vendor coordination, and hands-on lab work.
-
Clear communication and pragmatic execution under real deadlines.
-
LinkedIn/resume + 3 relevant builds.
Mixed-Signal Electrical Engineer
Design and bring up the electronics that make QPCI measurable: clean acquisition, stable power, and reliable interfaces. This role builds the sensor interface and acquisition stack for EVT-0 and beyond. Fractional engagement welcome.
Responsibilities
-
Design/assemble analog front ends, ADC paths, power rails, grounding, and EMI hygiene.
-
Own board bring-up, debug, noise hunting, and signal integrity validation.
-
Deliver modular interfaces that support iteration across prototype configurations.
-
Partner with firmware and validation to ensure timing and quality targets are met.
Qualifications
-
Strong mixed-signal design experience (AFE, ADC, low-noise design, grounding/shielding).
-
Hands-on board bring-up and lab debugging fluency (scope, logic analyzer, spectrum tools).
-
Experience with prototyping workflows: quick spins, rework, and test-first design.
-
Bonus: experience in biomedical sensing or wearable instrumentation.
-
Send resume + one representative schematic/board story.
Embedded / Firmware Engineer
Implement the real-time timing backbone and acquisition loop for EVT-0—deterministic time-stamping, streaming, and robust device control. Fractional (0.4–0.6 FTE) during EVT-0 is viable.
Responsibilities
-
Build synchronized time-stamping, deterministic acquisition loops, and reliable streaming pipelines.
-
Implement drivers, buffering, watchdogs, and health telemetry for long-running capture.
-
Integrate with compute and app layers for clean ingestion and analysis.
-
Partner with validation to verify timing, skew, and stability in bench tests.
Qualifications
-
Strong embedded C/C++ (or Rust) with real-time data acquisition experience.
-
Experience with timing, synchronization, and robust streaming under constraints.
-
Comfort working alongside EE during bring-up and debug cycles.
-
Bonus: embedded Linux, Jetson/SoM, BLE, or high-throughput sensor stacks.
-
Send resume + a short note on a timing/streaming system you’ve shipped.
Mechanical / Industrial Engineer
Build the wearable carrier, fixtures, and physical integration that make EVT-0 comfortable, stable, and testable. Early prototypes move fast—this role makes them wearable and repeatable. Fractional engagement encouraged.
Responsibilities
-
Design the crown/fixture geometry, ergonomics, mounting, cable routing, and serviceability.
-
Own thermal and mechanical constraints that affect stability and comfort.
-
Produce rapid prototypes (3D prints, fit fixtures) and iterate based on test feedback.
-
Coordinate with EE/firmware on physical layout and integration requirements.
Qualifications
-
Experience designing wearable or head-mounted hardware (or comparable close-tolerance assemblies).
-
Strong CAD and rapid prototyping skills; comfort with fast iteration cycles.
-
Practical understanding of mechanical sources of noise (motion, strain, heat).
-
Bonus: experience designing test fixtures and assembly jigs for validation.
-
Send portfolio + 1–2 examples of physical prototypes you’ve built.
Clinical Lead / Protocol Advisor
Shape the early pilot workflows: how QPCI is used, how outputs are interpreted, and how protocols are paced responsibly. Fractional advisor role with a clear path to deeper involvement.
Responsibilities
-
Define pilot use cases, workflows, and protocol structure for early partners.
-
Ensure outputs map to real decision points and responsible interpretation.
-
Support pilot planning, feedback loops, and evidence generation.
-
Help align product language with clinical reality and appropriate claims boundaries.
Qualifications
-
Clinical training and/or deep experience in applied human performance / recovery practice.
-
Comfort translating physiological trends into practical protocols and guardrails.
-
Strong communication and collaborative mindset with engineering teams.
-
Bonus: experience with pilot studies, IRB workflows, or clinical research partnerships.
-
Send CV + short note on relevant protocols/workflows.
Quality / Regulatory Lead
Help Fieldflux bring QPCI to market through a disciplined, evidence-first regulatory strategy. QPCI is pursuing a De Novo pathway, and the first major milestone is Q-Submission (Q-Sub) readiness—aligning design controls, risk management, validation plans, and documentation so early prototype evidence remains usable later. Fractional engagement welcome.
Responsibilities
-
Lead De Novo strategy execution and drive Q-Sub readiness (package planning, evidence mapping, reviewer questions, and timelines).
-
Stand up lightweight design controls, risk management, and verification traceability that support rapid iteration.
-
Build early V&V planning so EVT-stage artifacts translate into regulatory-grade evidence.
-
Align product claims language, labeling posture, privacy/security considerations, and professional workflows with regulatory expectations.
Qualifications
-
Experience in FDA medical device regulatory strategy, including De Novo and Q-Sub preparation.
-
Strong working knowledge of risk management and quality systems (ISO 13485 mindset; pragmatic execution).
-
Ability to maintain speed while building defensible documentation and traceability.
-
Bonus: familiarity with IEC 62304/60601 expectations, cybersecurity documentation, and clinical pilot readiness.
-
Send resume/CV + 2–3 relevant submissions or programs you’ve supported.
