Electromechanical and Embedded Systems Engineer

Join us in redefining precision blood diagnostics

Coalesenz Inc. is an early-stage in vitro diagnostics company developing a novel point-of-care platform that rapidly assesses blood coagulation using only a small blood sample. By integrating advanced optics, embedded electronics, microfluidics, and intelligent software, our technology addresses a critical unmet clinical need by helping clinicians rapidly identify and manage patients at risk of life-threatening bleeding.

We are seeking a motivated, hands-on Electromechanical & Embedded System Engineer to join our product engineering team. This role is ideal for an early-career engineer who enjoys building complete systems from electronic circuits and embedded software to mechanical assemblies and instrument integration. You will work closely with a multidisciplinary team of engineers, scientists, clinicians, and external partners to develop and refine next-generation medical diagnostic devices.

Responsibilities

• Design, prototype, assemble, and test electromechanical device prototypes and subsystems.
• Design and troubleshoot analog and digital electronic circuits, PCB assemblies, and embedded hardware.
• Develop and debug embedded software and firmware using C/C++.
• Develop software tools, automation scripts, and data analysis applications using Python.
• Support PCB schematic design, layout review, component selection, and hardware integration.
• Design mechanical components, fixtures, enclosures, and assemblies using SolidWorks or similar CAD software.
• Integrate and troubleshoot sensors, optical components, motors, pumps, valves, cameras, and other electromechanical subsystems.
• Perform experimental testing, collect and analyze data, and drive iterative design improvements.
• Assist with system integration, verification, validation, and reliability testing.
• Collaborate closely with firmware, software, mechanical, optical, and microfluidics engineers to develop robust product solutions.
• Contribute to engineering documentation, risk analysis (FMEA), and product development activities.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline.
• 1–3 years of relevant industry, internship, or hands-on engineering experience.
• Strong hands-on experience building and troubleshooting electronic circuits and embedded hardware.
• Experience with microcontrollers or embedded processors.
• Programming experience in Python and C/C++.
• Experience with CAD software (SolidWorks preferred) for mechanical design and prototyping.
• Familiarity with PCB schematics, layout, component selection, and functional testing.
• Ability to troubleshoot integrated electromechanical systems in a laboratory environment.
• Experience with experimental design, data analysis, and iterative engineering development.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
• Highly motivated, self-directed, and eager to learn in a fast-paced startup environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience developing embedded firmware for microcontrollers or embedded Linux platforms.
• Experience with PCB design software such as Altium Designer or KiCad.
• Experience with communication protocols such as SPI, I²C, UART, USB, or CAN.
• Experience with Qt, Python GUI development, or software automation.
• Experience with medical devices, diagnostic instrumentation, optical systems, or biosensors.
• Experience integrating cameras, sensors, motors, pumps, or other precision electromechanical systems.
• Familiarity with Design for Manufacturing (DFM), Design for Assembly (DFA), and Design for Test (DFT).
