🔧 Senior Embedded Software Engineer – Daily Rate Contract

📍 Melbourne – South Eastern Suburbs (Mount Waverley)

🕐 6-Month Contract | Start in ~3 Weeks | Onsite 3–5 Days/Week

💼 Medical Diagnostics | Instrument Development | Hardware-Software Integration

💰 Daily Rate: Open

My client is seeking an experienced Senior Embedded Software Engineer for an initial 6-month daily rate contract (with likely extensions) to join a leading medical diagnostics project. You’ll work on sophisticated systems that tightly integrate electronics, mechanics, and software — a great opportunity for someone who thrives in hands-on, hardware-focused environments.

🔍 What You’ll Be Doing

• Full software development lifecycle – from requirements to verification
• High- and low-level design, coding, debugging, testing
• Interfacing with hardware components in multi-disciplinary teams
• Working with C, Modern C++, and/or C#
• Scripting with Python for automation/testing (bonus)
• Supporting Agile and Continuous Improvement practices
• Delivering robust solutions in a regulated, quality-driven environment

✅ What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years in Software Engineering
• Strong skills in Object-Oriented Design and Implementation, ideally using C++ and/or C#
• Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python (Lua is a bonus)
• Expert-level experience in at least one core language (e.g. C, Modern C++, or C#/.Net), with working knowledge of others
• Familiar with embedded engineering experience, plus hands-on expertise in at least one additional area such as integration, detailed design, software architecture, or GUI development
• There may be a bit of driver development in firmware required (depending on timing, other availabilities, etc.), however there will definitely be “integration” and troubleshooting control issues.
• Strong communication and problem-solving skills, with a proactive mindset

🎯 Why Apply?

• Make a real-world impact through cutting-edge medical tech
• Daily rate contract with potential for long-term extension
• One-stage interview process – face-to-face preferred
• Hands-on, collaborative team environment (3–5 days onsite)
• Be part of a high-performing, supportive engineering culture
