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.
