Key skills for this role
iota Biosciences, a wholly owned subsidiary of Astellas Pharma US, is advancing a new class of bioelectronic medicines through the development of fully implantable Class III medical devices. Our proprietary technologies open therapeutic and diagnostic possibilities not previously accessible to clinicians.
Together with Astellas, we are committed to patient-centric design, scientific and engineering excellence, and cross-functional teamwork. These principles guide us in bringing transformative, first-of-its-kind technologies into the clinic and closer to patients.
As our Senior Firmware Engineer, you’ll combine hands-on technical expertise with strategic leadership to guide the development of next-generation Class III active implantable devices:
• Contribute to technical direction – partner with technical leads and management to execute on the firmware roadmap and evolve embedded software architecture within defined system boundaries.
• Deliver high-quality embedded software – design, implement, and verify firmware for embedded subsystems such as power management, ASIC interfaces, and communication systems, with a focus on robustness and maintainability.
• Enable innovation – integrate and debug subsystems, perform benchtop testing, and support reliability, verification, and compliance activities aligned with medical device standards.
• Collaborate cross-functionally – work closely with mechanical, electrical, systems, and quality teams, as well as external partners, to deliver complex features from concept through clinical readiness.
