Job Detail

Xsensio is a Swiss digital health start-up company developing a unique “Lab-on-SkinTM” sensing platform to sense in real-time biochemical information at the surface of the skin, providing unprecedented real-time information about our health and wellness, in a simple and non-invasive way. The company is located in Lausanne, Switzerland at the EPFL Innovation Park.

To strengthen our R&D team, we are looking for a:

PCB and IC design engineer (XS21-RD-01)

Job description

In the role of PCB and IC design engineer, you will be working with a highly motivated cross-functional R&D team, consisting of biologists, chemists, microelectronic engineers, material engineers and mechanic engineers, in order to ensure the development of a wearable “Lab-on-SkinTM” patch and accelerate its industrial production phase.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Developing application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) - simulation, layout and test - that includes sensors, sensor readout circuitry (amplifiers, biasing circuits, multiplexers, etc.) and analog-to-digital converter (ADC).


• Developing demo boards that verify the product functionality both before (with off-the-shelf components that offer similar functionalities) and after tape-out of the ASIC.


• Design and development with off-the-shelf/discrete components of complex, detailed layouts of rigid and flexible printed circuit boards (PCB) using CAE and CAD applications and tools to improve on our Lab-on-SkinTM product, notably optimizing the analog read out concept for our biological/chemical sensors.


• Communicating and collaborating with the multidisciplinary team to take into account other technical fields constraints in the electronic design to ensure proper operation of the final product.


• According to the product’s matrix of requirements, contribute, communicate frequently and follow closely outsourced development with external companies e.g. MCU firmware and mobile phone software development or hardware optimization for power management and radio communication.


• Adapting small modifications to the above-mentioned software whenever needed.


• Coordination of prototype production and evaluation of industrial production approach with potential partners

Profile

• Holds a degree of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, Computer science, Microengineering, or Physics.


• At least 5-years’ experience with analog integrated circuit design, transistor-level simulation with Cadence IC and layout. Experience with ADC design is preferred.


• Knowledge of at least some of the following skills: PCB schematic drawing, PCB layout drawing, PCB package library creation, SMD components soldering, etc. Experience with Altium Designer is preferred.


• Experience with MATLAB or Python is desirable.


• Hands-on engineer with ability to innovate and work autonomously.


• Ability to work in a multidisciplinary field and with an interdisciplinary team.


• Working proficiency in English required, French a plus.

Preferred starting date: ASAP

A valid Swiss work permit or Swiss or EU-28/EFTA citizenship is preferable (but not mandatory) for this position.

If you are interested and want to join a company that focuses on breakthrough innovation, we look forward to receiving your application in English or French.
