As an Embedded Software Engineer, you will join a multidisciplinary MedTech engineering team working on the development of a regulated embedded system. You will collaborate closely with hardware, R&D, and quality engineering colleagues and contribute across software architecture, development, verification, and continuous improvement activities.

This is a hands-on role with exposure to the full software lifecycle. You will help embed best practices around coding quality, design reviews, documentation, and agile delivery within a regulated environment.

About the Role

You will be part of an innovative technology organisation developing a next-generation embedded hardware–software platform for use in a regulated industry. The company is focused on delivering high-quality, reliable solutions that support improved outcomes in real-world applications.

The role offers the opportunity to work on a compact, embedded device that combines advanced electronics, software, and data-driven insights, with the potential for meaningful end-user impact.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop, test, and maintain embedded software in C for a handheld embedded system.
• Write Python scripts and tools to support development, testing, and automation activities.
• Collaborate closely with hardware engineers to ensure alignment with system design and interfaces.
• Define and execute software verification and validation activities.
• Maintain code repositories (e.g. Git) to ensure version control, traceability, and quality.
• Support quality and compliance activities such as change control, risk management, and technical documentation.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of software processes, coding standards, design reviews, and agile practices.

How You Will Contribute

• Take a proactive, hands-on approach to solving complex technical challenges.
• Apply strong analytical and problem-solving skills to deliver robust embedded solutions.
• Translate system and design requirements into clear software architectures.
• Communicate effectively across disciplines in a collaborative engineering environment.
• Contribute positively to team culture, continuous learning, and engineering excellence.

Required Skills & Experience

• 2–3 years’ experience developing embedded systems in C.
• Strong Python skills for scripting, tooling, or application development.
• Solid understanding of embedded system constraints and real-time considerations.
• Experience working with low-level drivers and interfaces (e.g. I2C, SPI).
• Familiarity with the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC), ideally in regulated or quality-driven environments.
• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related discipline.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to work effectively in a collaborative, cross-functional team.

Nice to Have

• Exposure to medical, automotive, aerospace, or other regulated standards (e.g. IEC 62304).
• Experience interfacing embedded software with FPGAs.
• Familiarity with common embedded toolchains (e.g. STM32-based environments, FPGA toolflows).
• Basic understanding of hardware description languages (VHDL/Verilog).
• Hands-on hardware debugging experience.

Culture

You will join a collaborative and inclusive engineering team that values quality, transparency, and continuous improvement. The organisation promotes open communication, shared ownership, and the opportunity for engineers to influence technical decisions.

Benefits

• Competitive salary and benefits package
• Hybrid working model
• Opportunity to work on complex, impactful embedded technology

Location: Dublin (2 days a week on site, Hybrid working model)
