Principal Embedded SW Engineer – Medical Devices

We are seeking a hands-on Embedded Software Engineer to design, develop, and validate firmware for next-generation medical devices. This role offers the opportunity to work across the full embedded stack, including real-time software architecture, communication stacks, and integration with hardware platforms. The ideal candidate thrives in regulated environments and enjoys solving complex embedded challenges from board bring-up to production-ready code.

Description

Design, develop, and verify embedded firmware in C/C++ for microcontrollers (e.g., ARM Cortex-M).
Implement real-time software using RTOS (e.g., FreeRTOS, Zephyr) or bare-metal designs with strict performance and timing constraints.
Ensure compliance with IEC 62304, FDA design controls, and other applicable regulatory standards.
Lead board bring-up and hardware integration using tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and JTAG/SWD.
Develop and maintain automated test frameworks, including hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) setups.
Document design decisions, verification results, and support regulatory submissions.

Requirements

10+ years of experience in embedded software development for safety-critical or regulated systems.
Strong proficiency in C/C++, low-level driver development, and performance optimization.
Experience with RTOS, bare-metal systems, and real-time software design.
Solid understanding of communication protocols (USB, BLE, Wi-Fi, Ethernet) and hardware interfaces (sensors, actuators, power management).
Skilled in debugging firmware-hardware interactions and performing board bring-up.

Familiarity with Git, JIRA, and CI/CD tools (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins).

Experience with unit testing frameworks (Ceedling/Unity, CMock, CppUTest) and static analysis tools (e.g., Coverity or equivalent).

Proficiency in Python for automation, testing, and hardware communication.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with network analysis and debugging tools for communication protocols (e.g., Wireshark, tcpdump,) and ability to troubleshoot IP packets over Wi-Fi, BLE, and Ethernet.
Background in medical device development or other regulated industries.
Exposure to safety, reliability, or usability standards such as ISO 13485, IEC 60601, or IEC 62366.
Organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced R&D environment.
