Embedded Firmware , Medical Device Hardware

Overview

Embedded Firmware Support, Medical Device Hardware — Remote, with the ability to work East Coast hours.

Lura Health is an early-stage medical device company developing a non-invasive remote patient monitoring tool: a miniature, battery-powered sensor worn in the mouth that continuously measures analytes in saliva and transmits data via Bluetooth Low Energy. We are seeking firmware support to rapidly bring our MVP to life—a clinical pilot application that calibrates and reads sensors, transmits data over BLE, and runs efficiently on a micro-battery.

• Enable reliable internal clinical testing with 12–18+ hours wear time between battery charges, robust OTA DFU, and well-documented tradeoffs in runtime vs performance
• Work closely with the mobile developer and electrical engineer to identify and resolve bottlenecks across hardware, firmware, software, and system integration

We are open to working with an individual contractor, a small consulting group, or exploring a contract-to-hire path. The ideal partner is self-directed, thrives on tackling unknown unknowns, and brings proven experience launching production embedded code for battery-powered devices. Required experience includes power management, data management, ADCs, DMAs, BLE (Silicon Labs Gecko Series 2 preferred), and I2C. Proficiency with embedded hardware is strongly preferred.

Medical device experience preferred, but not required. Engagement needs to begin ASAP — more details will be shared following NDA.

This partnership is primarily remote, with frequent collaboration with the electrical engineering team based in Brooklyn, NY. Eastern time and the ability to travel to NY/NJ for in-person troubleshooting is strongly preferred.
