Embedded Linux Engineer
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Nov 7, 2026. First seen by Alion on Feb 3, 2024. Norbert Health scores B on the Alion truth index.
About Norbert
Health care is in dire need of automation. 13m nursing jobs will be vacant by 2025, and it is urgent to reduce the workload of overworked nursing and medical staff. Healthcare needs automation to grow into the home as well - 265Bn worth of medicare costs are shifting from hospital to home by 2028.
At Norbert, we have built the device and technology that will make this transformation possible. We are making the world’s first medical grade, contactless and fully automated vital signs scanner that can measure heart rate, SpO2, blood pressure, respiratory rate and temperature in 20 seconds, without contact. All the patient needs to do is sit or stand within 3 feet of the device. We use wireless, infrared and visible light sensing to detect but also predict health issues before they occur.
We are deployed in hospitals for pilots throughout the world, and are finalizing our bench tests before starting clinical trials in October. We will ship our first certified devices in the first quarter of 2024.
Our founder Alex Winter is a pioneer and repeat entrepreneur in computer vision and machine learning, started, grew and exited to venture backed startups in the field.
We are venture backed by top tier VCs, headquartered in Brooklyn with offices in Paris, France.
Come join us to build the future of ambient, predictive health, saving lives and making people live longer and happier, at home.
