This role involves significant hands-on technical contribution to complex software projects, from concept to final product, while also providing critical design and development insights.

About the role

As a Senior Embedded Software Engineer, you will be responsible for the overarching development of complex embedded software systems, from initial concept and prototype through to the implementation and release. You will be a valued member of project teams, collaborating closely with internal and client team members. You will use your deep technical expertise with firmware engineering and embedded systems to design, code, test, and debug software, making critical decisions on development approaches. You will also provide technical guidance to other engineers.

The team will rely on you to:

• Architect, write, and test embedded firmware and software solutions for a variety of products, including next-generation systems and cloud processing algorithms.
• Collaborate closely with hardware engineers, reviewing schematics and debugging hardware issues on prototypes.
• Ensure compliance with documented software processes and procedures throughout the lifecycle, including relevant quality standards
• Provide technical leadership, mentoring, and coaching to other engineers, fostering a continuous improvement culture.
• Lead and contribute to software planning, requirements, architecture, design, and technical reviews.
• Work effectively in a cross-functional team environment, consulting with clients and partners on system design and delivery.

Ideally you have:

• 5+ years of experience in firmware and embedded engineering.
• Strong proficiency in Embedded C/C++ and Python.
• A Bachelor's degree in Software, Electronics, Mechatronics Engineering, Computer Science, or a related discipline.
• Proven experience in firmware engineering and embedded systems development.
• Familiarity with hardware-software integration and debugging techniques.
• Experience with embedded microcontrollers and RTOS (e.g., STM32, nRF5, FreeRTOS, Zephyr).
• Knowledge of software architecture and design as it relates to systems engineering.

Bonus points if you also have:

• Experience with wireless communication protocols (e.g., Bluetooth, WiFi, LoRa, LTE).
• Experience developing medical devices to standards like IEC 62304 and ISO 13485.
• Experience with Embedded Linux.
• Experience with hardware/electronics design and development
• Experience working directly with clients and across hybrid project teams.
