Position Summary

We are seeking an experienced and highly skilled Senior HMI Embedded Software Engineer to join our team in developing software for Heart-Lung Machines and other life-critical medical devices. In this role, you will focus on the architecture, design, and implementation of Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI) on Embedded Linux platforms, contributing to highly usable, safe, secure, and performant software.

Reporting to the Manager – Embedded Software Engineering, you will collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure compliance with IEC 62304 Class C standards. The ideal candidate brings several years of experience in embedded HMI/GUI development, especially using Qt in regulated medical or safety‑critical industries, and has already contributed to or driven software architecture and documentation activities.

General Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain HMI applications for embedded medical devices, ensuring a responsive, intuitive, and safe user interface.

• Implement software solutions on Embedded Linux platforms, using modern programming languages and UI frameworks.

• Collaborate closely with software architects, firmware engineers, test engineers, and technical leads to ensure feature implementation aligns with design specifications and safety requirements.

• Lead or contribute to the definition of software requirements, software architecture documentation, design reviews, code reviews, and risk assessments.

• Apply unit testing, static analysis, and best practices to ensure high software quality and maintainability.

• Support integration, debugging, and system verification activities.

• Ensure end‑to‑end traceability from requirements to implementation and testing, in line with regulatory expectations.

• Create and maintain high-quality software documentation (architecture, design, implementation, verification) to support regulatory submissions and audits.

Skills and Experience

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.

• Several years of professional experience in embedded HMI software development, ideally within medical devices or other regulated safety‑critical industries, with demonstrable contributions to product‑grade software.

• Strong experience in Qt-based HMI/GUI development for Embedded Linux in a product development environment.

• Demonstrated experience in software architecture and design, including design documentation and structured decision-making.

• Deep understanding of medical or safety‑critical software development processes; experience with IEC 62304 Class C is highly advantageous.

• Proficiency in C++ (modern C++ required); Python is a plus.

• Solid experience with Embedded Linux and build systems such as Yocto or Buildroot.

• Understanding of HMI design principles, usability, and user-centered development.

• Strong experience applying unit testing, static code analysis, and ensuring compliance with MISRA C++ or CERT C++ standards.

• Familiarity with communication protocols such as CAN, Ethernet, and USB.

• Working knowledge of IEC 62304, ISO 13485, ISO 14971 is an advantage.

• Experience with Git, Jira, Confluence, and Agile development practices.

• Strong problem-solving and debugging skills in complex embedded environments.

• Excellent collaboration and communication skills.

• Comfortable working in a regulated, safety-critical environment.
