Quality Engineer III

Beacon Biosignals is on a mission to revolutionize precision medicine for the brain. We are the leading at-home EEG platform supporting clinical development of novel therapeutics for neurological, psychiatric, and sleep disorders. Our FDA 510(k)-cleared Dreem EEG headband and AI algorithms enable quantitative biomarker discovery and implementation. Beacon’s Clinico-EEG database contains EEG data from nearly 100,000 patients, and our cloud-native analytics platform powers large-scale RWD/RWE retrospective and predictive studies. Beacon Biosignals is changing the way that patients are treated for any disorder that affects brain physiology. 

This role in the Quality department will be reporting to the VP of quality and has growth potential to a management position. The position will be located in the US, preferably in or near a Beacon hub. 

In this role, you’ll serve as a quality representative embedded within cross-functional squads, partnering closely with hardware engineering, manufacturing, and operations to support both new product development and sustaining initiatives. You’ll guide the evolution of our hardware quality systems across the entire product lifecycle—from design and manufacturing through product release and post-market activities. Acting as a subject matter expert, you’ll ensure our compliance efforts align with both internal standards and global regulatory requirements.

You’ll also play a key role in preparing for and leading second- and third-party audits, including regulatory inspections. Collaboration with our contract manufacturers will be essential, as you manage quality agreements, provide validation support, and maintain audit readiness. With a focus on continuous improvement, you’ll help shape quality processes that are both robust and efficient, always prioritizing a risk-based, least-burdensome approach to compliance.

Beacon's robust asynchronous work practices ensure a first-class remote work experience, but we also have in-person office hubs available located in Boston and New York.
