MSTFA is a small engineering organization working on microvolt-scale signal acquisition, medical-device regulation, and clinical data infrastructure. The work is difficult, specific, and consequential.
Engineers at MSTFA own complete subsystems — a sensing front end, a classification pipeline, a FHIR service — not tickets. Decisions are argued from literature, measurement, and datasheets.
We are early-stage and honest about it: equity-weighted compensation, direct access to every technical decision, and the kind of responsibility larger organizations cannot offer early-career engineers.
