Overview

At Nia Therapeutics, we are engineering solutions at the frontier of neuroscience to make memory loss reversible.

We are a team of scientists and engineers developing advanced implantable brain stimulation devices to reverse memory loss from brain injury and degenerative disease. Our core technology, developed at the University of Pennsylvania and funded by DARPA, is built on a foundation of human clinical studies that demonstrate its efficacy. This is a rare opportunity to help develop a product that will not only improve patient lives but also redefine what's possible in neural engineering.

What you will do

  • Develop embedded firmware in C to support BLE communication between an implantable device and mobile apps
  • Design and implement custom GATT services and characteristics to enable secure, low-latency data exchange
  • Support real-time signal processing, sensor interfaces, and closed-loop control logic
  • Contribute to the design of system-level communication protocols across implant, wearable, and cloud platforms
  • Help build automated test systems for wireless and embedded functionality

Required Qualifications

  • BS in Electrical Engineering / Computer Science plus 5+ / 8+ / 11+ years experience OR an advanced degree plus 3+ / 6+ / 9+ years of experience
  • Strong programming skills in C for embedded systems
  • Hands-on experience developing and debugging BLE firmware , including custom profiles and characteristics
  • Understanding of BLE stack behavior (advertising, connection parameters, bonding, encryption)
  • Comfortable working with microcontroller toolchains, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers
  • Ability to read datasheets and electrical schematics and develop device drivers
  • Strong troubleshooting, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills
  • Preferred Skills

  • Experience with ST or Nordic microcontrollers
  • RTOS based firmware development (e.g. FreeRTOS, Zephyr)
  • Hands-on experience developing and debugging Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) communication protocols, including creating custom GATT services and characteristics
  • Experience integrating mobile applications with embedded firmware, ensuring robust and reliable data exchange
  • Experience developing active implantable medical devices, medical device quality systems, standards (e.g. ISO-14708) and risk management activities (e.g. FMEA)
  • Proficiency in cross-platform (Android, iOS) mobile application development
  • Broad circuit design experience including analog, digital, power supply and comms functions
  • Setting up and maintaining testing environments for hardware and software systems
  • Our Culture

    This position is 5 days per week in person based in Boston, MA. We’re a small team tackling big challenges. We move quickly, think rigorously, and care deeply about the impact of our work. If you’re excited by the idea of helping build a product that integrates neuroscience, embedded systems, and mobile UX , and you’re eager to grow in a fast-paced startup, we’d love to meet you.

    Benefits

    Nia Therapeutics provides comprehensive health benefits to support our employees’ well-being, including medical, dental, and vision insurance. We also offer stock options, giving team members a direct stake in the company’s success and long-term mission.
