About the job
Requirements
- A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical, Electronics, Embedded/Computer Engineering, or a related field.
- At least 8 years of hands-on hardware and firmware engineering experience, including at least 2–3 years leading or managing an engineering team.
- Prior experience in the medical device industry, with familiarity with how design controls, risk management, and regulatory submissions shape hardware and firmware decisions.
- Well-versed in firmware development and architecture, including embedded/RTOS or bare-metal firmware, driver design, and hardware-firmware integration.
- A track record of taking hardware and firmware together from concept through prototyping, verification, and design transfer.
- Hands-on experience running or overseeing risk management activities, including FMEA and hazard analysis, in line with ISO 14971.
- Experience coordinating mechanical engineering work streams such as enclosure, thermal, and design for manufacturing alongside electrical and firmware scope.
- Ability to own delivery timelines and communicate trade-offs to product and leadership stakeholders.
- Working knowledge of IEC 60601-1 and its collateral standards, including IEC 60601-1-2 for EMC.
- Working knowledge of IEC 62304 software lifecycle requirements for medical devices, relevant to firmware architecture ownership.
- Understanding of ISO 13485 quality management systems and ISO 14971 risk management, and how they shape hardware design decisions.
- Exposure to IEC 61010 and other bench-testing standards where relevant to the product line.
- Familiarity with planning and executing compliance testing, including EMC/EMI, electrical safety, environmental, and biocompatibility testing, with test labs and certification bodies.
- Working knowledge of the FDA 510(k), CE MDR, and CDSCO regulatory pathways, and how hardware documentation contributes to these submissions.
Responsibilities
- Lead, mentor, and grow a team of hardware, firmware, and mechanical engineers, setting priorities and holding the team accountable for output.
- Own product delivery end to end by translating product requirements into engineering plans, tracking milestones, and ensuring devices ship on schedule and to specification.
- Drive hardware and firmware architecture and design for contactless remote patient monitoring devices, from concept and prototyping through verification and design transfer.
- Guide firmware development choices, including embedded/RTOS architecture, driver design, and hardware-firmware integration, working closely with firmware engineers even where they own day-to-day implementation.
- Build and test functional prototypes at each design stage to validate performance before verification.
- Plan and oversee compliance testing, including EMC, electrical safety, environmental, and applicable biocompatibility testing, so designs meet IEC and ISO standards before submission.
- Own hardware and firmware contributions to regulatory submissions and technical documentation, including FDA 510(k), CE MDR, and CDSCO submissions, in partnership with regulatory affairs.
- Own hardware and firmware risk management by maintaining risk files, running hazard and FMEA analyses, and driving mitigations in line with ISO 14971.
- Triage and resolve field complaints and hardware- or firmware-related support tickets, driving root-cause analysis and corrective and preventive action.
- Work cross-functionally with product management, quality, supply chain, and software teams to align hardware plans with business goals.
- Report progress, risks, and resourcing needs to leadership.
Desired Qualifications
- Experience with contactless or wearable vital-signs monitoring hardware, including PPG, ECG, or similar sensing modalities.
- Prior experience scaling a hardware or firmware team in a startup or fast-growing company.
- Experience with RTOS-based or bare-metal firmware architectures, such as FreeRTOS or Zephyr, for battery-powered, connected medical or IoT devices.
- Hands-on experience with PCB design tools such as Altium or Cadence, and EMI/EMC troubleshooting.
- Exposure to connected/IoT device architectures using BLE, Wi-Fi, or cellular, and cloud-connected fleets.
About the company
Dozee provides remote patient monitoring with a contactless AI-powered system that tracks vital signs such as heart rate, respiration, sleep patterns, and stress without contacting the patient. A non-contact sensor gathers data in the patient’s environment, and AI analyzes it to deliver real-time health insights and early warnings of potential issues. It is designed to be integrated into hospitals for continuous, non-intrusive monitoring and to support clinical decisions, forming a hospital-to-home continuum of care. Its differentiator is the focus on passively collected, sleep-oriented data and AI-driven alerts to detect deterioration earlier than some invasive or manual monitoring methods. Goal: improve patient outcomes by enabling continuous observation and proactive care.

Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- March 2025 funding added $8.3 million for global expansion and R&D.
- By August 2026, Dozee operated across 380-plus hospitals in India, UAE, Africa, and America.
- KIMS Sunshine and Malla Reddy Narayana expanded Dozee deployments in 2025, validating demand.
What critics are saying
- Tracxn listed 73 active competitors on August 24, 2026.
- FY25 revenue stayed only ₹10–₹50 crore, limiting scale economics.
- If hospital procurement stalls, Dozee becomes a niche hardware vendor, not a platform.
What makes Dozee unique
- Dozee’s under-mattress contactless monitoring avoids wearables and bedside wiring.
- In 2025, Dozee gained FDA 510(k) clearance for Contactless Vital Signs Measurement.
- Its hospital-first Smart Ward stack spans RPM, EWS, and connected beds.
