Systems Engineer

Type: Full-time

Experience: ~5+ years

Industry: Medical Devices / Smart Textiles / IoT / Wearables

Salary :
Starting at $125k + equity and performance bonus

Location: Louisville, KY (On site)

We are looking for a hands-on Systems Engineer to help design and build future generations of smart textile–based incontinence solutions
. This is a doer role
, not a pure architect or manager. You will write firmware, contribute to electronics design, develop system-level software logic, and physically build and test prototypes.

You’ll work end-to-end across smart textiles, sensors, embedded electronics, firmware, and data
, helping take products from early concept through real-world deployment in care environments.

• Write and debug embedded firmware for smart textile sensing systems
• Contribute to electronics design (schematics review, component selection, power, sensing circuits)
• Develop system-level logic that ties sensors, firmware, and data outputs together
• Build, test, and iterate on physical prototypes (not just paper designs)
• Define and implement interfaces between textiles, sensors, electronics, firmware, and software
• Translate user and clinical needs into practical, buildable system requirements
• Perform trade studies (sensing methods, durability, wash life, power, cost, performance)
• Design and execute verification tests and analyze real-world performance data
• Support design controls and risk management activities in a regulated environment
• Work closely with manufacturing to ensure designs are scalable, durable, and cost-effective

Required

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Electrical, Computer, Biomedical, Systems, or similar)
• ~5+ years of experience in hands-on product development
• Strong experience writing embedded firmware (Arduino, ESP
  32, STM
  32, or similar)
• Solid foundation in electrical engineering (sensors, analog/digital circuits, power)
• Experience contributing to software or data pipelines (embedded logic, device-to-cloud, or analytics)
• Comfortable moving between code, schematics, textiles, and test data
• Experience working in or adjacent to regulated medical or healthcare products

Strongly Preferred

• Experience with smart textiles, e-textiles, or soft-goods medical devices
• Familiarity with capacitive, moisture, or biosensing systems
• Experience designing washable or reusable electronic products
• Exposure to FDA design controls, verification & validation, or ISO 13485 environments
• Experience working with real-world field data to improve product performance

• Not a purely theoretical systems role
• Not a project manager position
• Not a “write specs and hand off” job

This role is for someone who designs, builds, tests, fixes, and ships
.

You’ll help create products that:

• Improve dignity and outcomes in incontinence care
• Reduce caregiver workload through real-time sensing
• Advance the state of smart textiles in healthcare
• Move quickly from prototype to real-world impact
