- Design and implement software aligned with security, reliability, performance, scalability, maintainability, and medical device design-control expectations.
- Participate in technical design reviews, code reviews, integration reviews, risk-based engineering discussions, static analysis, unit testing, and disciplined issue resolution to deliver integrated software products with uncompromised quality.
- Work in a fast-paced AI infused Agile/Scrum environment while researching, evaluating, and applying new tools, technologies, automation approaches, and AI-assisted development practices to improve engineering productivity and software quality.
Qualifications & Essential Skills
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related STEM discipline and a minimum of 2 years of work experience as a software engineer in a product development team.
- Experience developing embedded software using C, C++, Python, or similar languages.
- Experience with embedded Linux, Unix/Linux programming, operating system concepts, STLinux or similar embedded Linux distributions, RTOS development, and low-level platform development.
- Experience with microcontrollers, microprocessors, board-level interfaces, real-time constraints, scheduling, timing behavior, resource management, deterministic system performance, and hardware-software integration.
- Strong understanding of object-oriented design, design patterns, algorithms, data structures, and maintainable software architecture.
- Ability to work across disciplines and communicate technical decisions clearly to software, electrical, systems, quality, and program stakeholders.
- Legal authorization to work in the U.S. is required. We will not sponsor individuals for employment visas, now or in the future, for this job opening.
Desired Skills – Technical
- Experience with board bring-up, bootloaders, kernel configuration, device trees, device drivers, hardware abstraction layers, embedded platform debug, and hardware debug tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers, JTAG/SWD debuggers, or similar equipment.
- Ability to read schematics and collaborate with electrical engineering teams to debug hardware-software interactions across electronics, circuits, sensors, signals, and common embedded communication interfaces.
- Awareness of embedded cybersecurity principles, including secure boot, encryption, authentication, vulnerability mitigation, device hardening, software update integrity, and secure development practices.
- Experience analyzing software performance, memory usage, timing behavior, startup behavior, and system-level reliability in constrained embedded environments.
- Experience developing software compliant with IEC/ISO 62304 Software Development Lifecycle expectations, medical device software practices, safety-critical systems, or other regulated product development environments.
- Experience using AI-assisted development tools to improve productivity, code comprehension, test generation, documentation, debugging, or workflow automation while maintaining appropriate engineering review and quality controls.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, including the ability to break down ambiguous technical problems, document problem statements, estimate implementation and test effort, create reusable solutions, and drive issues to closure through structured engineering execution.
