About Pulsenics

Pulsenics is catalyzing novel breakthroughs for electrochemical technologies that decarbonize our planet. Pulsenics’ innovation is the first to apply advanced spectroscopy techniques to industrial electrochemical applications, at scale, to target the industry’s energy waste problem. Our mission is to change how the industry, making up 15% of the world’s GDP, uses its energy.

“Pulsenics” means “Pulse Generation.”

True to its name, our proprietary hardware injects non-disruptive electrical pulses into an

electrochemical system to extract a unique signature for its State-of-Health. When combined

With our Data Management Software, this untapped data unlocks fundamental insights that lead to the most energy efficient operations, at scale.

Pulsenics hardware and software is currently being used by customers around the world to improve electrochemical system design and performance. Pulsenics’ customers run diverse electrochemical systems ranging from fuel cells and batteries to wastewater treatment and metallurgy.

At Pulsenics, you will have the opportunity to have a direct impact on the development of our next generation hardware and software products, alongside our world-class team of innovators and engineers!

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead the development team in overall instrument system design and development.
  • Design and develop the overall analog and mixed system hardware architecture of an instrument.
  • Design and develop analog circuits for instrumentation applications, including amplifiers, filters, signal conditioners, and data acquisition systems for precision instruments.
  • Perform detailed circuit analysis, simulation, and validation to ensure performance and reliability and optimize circuit designs for performance, power consumption, and cost.
  • Conduct design verification and component selection/evaluation.
  • Prototype, test, and troubleshoot analog circuits to meet design specifications and performance targets.
  • Document designs, test procedures, and results for knowledge sharing and future reference.
  • Play an active role in refining and improving the hardware design process.
