About Wearlinq
We're a fast growing healthcare spin-off from Stanford, with a base in San Francisco and employees worldwide building an integrated ecosystem of hardware, software, and services to make disease prevention personal and intelligent. We’ve launched an FDA-cleared 6-channel EKG wearable with a mobile app for arrhythmia diagnosis and stroke prevention and have an exciting pipeline of new solutions.
Job Summary
You will own end-to-end PCB design for our next-generation wearable ECG platforms—from schematic capture and multi-layer layout through prototyping, bring-up, and electrical validation. Working alongside firmware, production, R&D and clinical teams, you’ll turn concepts into medical-grade products that improve patient outcomes worldwide.
Key Responsibilities
- Design schematics and multi-layer PCB layouts for low-power, mixed-signal wearable devices
- Build prototypes, perform board bring-up, and debug hardware issues
- Plan and execute electrical test & validation protocols to meet electronics and medical-device quality and safety standards
- Collaborate with cross-functional R&D teams to integrate sensors, wireless modules, and power-management subsystems
- Document designs, test plans, and results in compliance with internal quality processes and FDA requirements
- Research new components and technologies to drive innovation in wearable health monitoring
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering or related field
- 2+ years professional experience in PCB design (schematic + multi-layer layout)
- Hands-on expertise with industry-standard PCB tools (Altium, KiCad, OrCAD, Eagle, etc.)
- Prior experience in circuit debugging and use of lab equipment (oscilloscope, multimeter, logic analyzer) is preferred.
- Good understanding in PCB fabrication and PCBA processes.
- Solid grasp of analog/digital fundamentals, power management, and signal integrity
- Strong problem-solving skills and ability to thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative startup environment. Self-motivated and able to work independently.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience developing wearable or medical hardware (ECG, BLE, low-power sensors)
- Familiarity with IEC 60601 or other medical-device standards
- Knowledge of wireless design (BLE, Wi-Fi) and low-power optimization techniques
Benefits & Perks
- Competitive compensation
- Remote-friendly culture
- Opportunity to make a real impact on patient care and shape the future of wearable health tech
