Senior Embedded Software Engineer x2 - MedTech Startup

Senior Embedded Software Engineer

MedTech Start-up

Dublin (Hybrid)

Salary up to €100K plus 10% bonus and excellent benefits

IT Search has partnered with a rapidly scaling international medical devices company that is establishing a new engineering function in Dublin. They are hiring two Senior Embedded Software Engineers to take ownership of low-level embedded development for a regulated, safety critical device.

This is a hands-on role with a strong focus on Nordic BLE SoCs and Zephyr RTOS. You will work close to the hardware, dealing with peripherals, power management, and real-time control, while helping shape the firmware architecture and engineering standards from an early stage.

The Opportunity

You will design and develop embedded software for a connected medical device, working closely with electronics, systems and quality teams. The role requires strong low-level expertise and comfort working directly with microcontrollers, drivers, and hardware interfaces.

Key Responsibilities & Experience

• Develop embedded C firmware on Nordic BLE microcontrollers using Zephyr RTOS
• Work close to the hardware, including drivers, interrupts, and power management
• Implement and optimise BLE communication and custom GATT services
• Contribute to firmware architecture, testing, and regulatory verification activities
• Strong embedded C background with hands-on Nordic and Zephyr experience
• Experience in safety critical or regulated environments with solid debugging capability

These are key early hires into a newly forming engineering team, with real ownership over low-level firmware on a safety critical, patient-facing device. You’ll be working close to the hardware, influencing architecture from the start, and joining a company with strong backing, competitive compensation, and long-term growth potential.
