At Starling we're bringing the future of a proactive and predictive home based healthcare system to patients today.

In our vision, we will identify and predict chronic health exacerbations of patients earlier at home so we can activate preventive care measures in an non-emergent setting vastly improving outcomes and costs for the whole system.

Our team of serial entrepreneurs, engineers, and clinicians are building the next generation of medical products at the intersection of hardware, software, and artificial intelligence. We develop these next generation products to improve the lives of chronic care patients by passively monitoring changes in their urine over time with our AI and care team infrastructure.

Description

Lead EE hardware + embedded/firmware software development for electronic medical devices. Development of electronic hardware for on time and quality delivery. Design, build and test PCBs for different projects. Ability to program and troubleshoot embedded/firmware software. Source components and work with local and overseas suppliers. Complete product development including technical specifications, development, testing and design for production. Ability to design PCBs for mass manufacturing in cooperation with our manufacturing partners.

Responsibilities

- EE Product Development: Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including design, software, mechanical and manufacturing, to develop new products or improve existing ones. Apply your electrical engineering background to provide valuable insights into product design and functionality.

- Quality Assurance: Implement and maintain ISO13485 and IEC61010 or IEC60601 standards in all phases of product development and production. Conduct risk assessments and quality control processes to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.

- Supplier Management: Build and maintain strong relationships with overseas contract manufacturers. Monitor their performance, address issues, and negotiate contracts to ensure on-time and cost-effective production.

- Documentation: Prepare and maintain comprehensive product documentation, including specifications, test plans, and reports. Ensure all documentation meets regulatory and quality standards.

Ability to travel as needed (domestic and international).

In the US, 80% of healthcare spend occurs in 20% of patients. We aim to drastically reduce this cost through modern software, hardware, and preventative care services. Our core device, the UrinDx, combines continuous urinary diagnostics and machine-learning trained on identifying health exacerbations to allow patients to track changes in their health over time at home by monitoring changes in their urine over time. All without having to change anything about their daily bathroom routine. Its core connected software product is a platform to help doctors monitor the health of their patients through tracking changes in key compositional changes in the urine of such patients, so that physicians and patients can stay aligned without direct interaction. In review of this data on a monthly basis by our nursing staff, our remote patient monitoring platform generates repeatable recurring revenues per patient on our platform for Starling and for our physician partners. If our Starling care team and AI algorithms identify significant issues with the patient, we can then triage them to a PCP or to their urologists for a higher acuity investigation. In this process, we expect to significantly improve the patient and physician experience while greatly driving down chronic management costs through hospitalization reductions.
