Healthcare tech startup InnaMed brought Nick mcgill as Director of Hardware Engineering, having spent seven years with the recently merged product design company Bressler Group.

In his new role, McGill will lead the development of the firmware and electronic hardware for InnaMed’s product, Home Lab, a home blood test device connected to the Internet. The product aims to decentralize data collection for clinical trials and digital health telemedicine services, as well as improve patient compliance with blood parameter monitoring.

The company was co-founded by University of Pennsylvania graduates in bioengineering Anup singh and Eshwar Inapuri in 2016. McGill is also a graduate of Penn, and in 2013 was part of the student team that built the Titan arm, an award-winning and inexpensive robotic arm.

Mcgill said Technically he will interface with mechanical engineering and product design efforts and lead the planning and development of hardware engineering. He will also work with the Director of Software Engineering on how to securely manage data between the InnaMed HomeLab device and the backend.

As InnaMed – a 2017 Y Combiner alum – grows, McGill will be responsible for hiring more engineers in firmware and electronics. (Check out some open roles here.) His new role won’t be too different from his previous one at Bresslergroup, he said.

“There are common technical skills that bring a napkin sketch to life as a product – designing complex electromechanical systems, designing the details of analog circuits, and programming robust embedded firmware,” said McGill. “Both companies are moving quickly, testing new features and methods, sticking with what works and getting rid of the underperformers. Both roles present challenging and exciting work.

But at InnaMed, McGill said, he will play a bigger role in product design and direction and in developing the team of electrical and firmware engineers – “something I look forward to.”
