Embedded Systems Engineer

Company Description: HELGEN - Building near-continuous biosurveillance infrastructure

Job Description:

As an Embedded Systems Engineer at HELGEN, you will drive the end-to-end development of category-defining hardware for global biosecurity. You will lead the architecture, prototyping, and iteration of low-power systems, integrating microfluidic and airflow subsystems into field-ready units. This is a high-stakes role requiring rapid iteration to help fortify the future of humanity.

Location: Remote (US/UK)

Why this role is remarkable:

• Impact humanity’s future by building critical infrastructure required for near-continuous biosurveillance and global biosecurity.
• Operate in a fast-paced environment where you can move from concept to field-ready hardware without the friction of traditional corporate engineering.
• Join an elite early-stage team where you will shape technical strategy and significantly influence engineering culture.

What you will do:

• Lead hardware architecture and rapid prototyping of low-power embedded systems from initial concept to deployable product.
• Design and integrate complex microfluidic and airflow subsystems using hands-on techniques such as 3D printing, laser cutting, and precision sealing.
• Research technical literature to improve prior technologies and maintain robust documentation for system requirements and testing.

The ideal candidate:

• Strong background in embedded systems with expertise in rapid, low-power hardware design and prototyping.
• Hands-on experience with fluidic subsystems and physical assembly methods including tubing, fittings, and bonding.
• Thrives in zero-to-one environments and ideally has experience with molecular diagnostic hardware or cartridge-style consumables.

We never post fake jobs

This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.

Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.

We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.

Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
