About This Role

iRhythm is seeking a Sr. Research Engineer II to join our Product Development team. The Product Development team is made up of a close-knit group of talented engineers representing a wide range of engineering disciplines. This position is a hybrid role that will require you to be on-site in our San Francisco, California office, with flexibility for days of remote work as appropriate.

In this role, you will contribute directly to early-stage research efforts to develop wearable bio-sensors, collaborating alongside a multi-disciplinary team. Our work environment is highly collaborative, and engineers at iRhythm work passionately to deliver innovative solutions that improve the quality of healthcare and the patient experience. We are looking for like-minded individuals to join our team!

Note we are unable to offer any sort of sponsorship for this role.

Responsibilities

• · Leading research/product innovation activities
• · Partnering with Clinical and Business Development groups to identify unmet clinical needs and business opportunities that are compatible with iRhythm core competencies
• · Translating clinical needs to engineering requirements and conversely, communicating technical concepts to non-technical people
• · Identifying and evaluating promising technologies for incorporation into wearable sensing solutions
• · Assessing and prioritizing technical activities for improving understanding of sensing technologies
• · Leading and working alongside a technical team to rapidly prototype embedded and mechanical research platforms
• · Analyzing and interpreting data through various techniques using Python or R
• · Working collaboratively with Strategy and Product groups to influence business and product decisions using research and data, and ultimately define the R&D product pipeline
• · Contributing to generation of intellectual property

About You

You are interested in the intersection of technology and medicine and the evolving world of wearable sensors and digital health. As a versatile and well-rounded engineer, you can just as easily work with clinicians for identification of unmet needs as roll up your sleeves for hands-on prototyping in the lab (e.g., working with evaluation kits or creating basic 3D models in SolidWorks). You are a critical thinker who feels comfortable with making decisions in the face of ambiguity.

Required Qualifications

• · Advanced degree in Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or similar discipline. PhD with 3+ years or MS with 5+ years of research experience in medical devices
• · Familiarity with physiological parameters and sensing (e.g. ECG, pulse oximetry, blood pressure)
• · Strong grasp of complex, hypothesis-driven experimental design
• · Fluency with the embedded systems necessary to integrate sensors into real world solutions
• · Self-motivated with the ability to work independently
• · Demonstrated ability to communicate and collaborate effectively across engineering disciplines
• · Values and prioritizes a supportive team environment that enables open-minded and respectful discussion

What's In It for You

This is a regular full-time position with competitive compensation package, excellent benefits including medical, dental, and vision insurances (all of which start on your first day), health savings account employer contributions (when enrolled in high deductible medical plan), cafeteria plan pre-taxed benefits (FSA, dependent care FSA, commute reimbursement accounts), travel reimbursement for medical care, noncontributory basic life insurance & short/ long term disability. Additionally, we offer:
