About the role

We are seeking a full-time Senior Software Engineer for the Garmin Health team at Garmin's U.S. headquarters in the Greater Kansas City area. In this role, you will develop and deploy hardware/software integration testing tools that automate testing workflows and reduce manual overhead. You will work on new software features and help integrate wellness and health software for our platforms (ECG and skin temperature sensors) into Garmin wearable products. We are looking for a creative problem-solver who is genuinely curious about biosignals and human health data, and eager to apply that knowledge to build meaningful features and improve team processes.

Responsibilities

• Apply knowledge of key biosignals (e.g., ECG, skin temperature) to recommend validation approaches and provide engineering guidance on sensor signal assessment
• Support the design and implementation of new sensor platform software for features in active development
• Design and develop moderately complex software for internal tools, test infrastructure, and automation tools using Python, C, C++, or other selected languages
• Perform hardware and software integration testing, troubleshoot issue reports, reproduce issues, root cause, implement and test solutions
• Utilize software engineering tools (configuration management, build processes, debuggers, simulators, measurement instruments) and contribute to testing fixture design
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (firmware, hardware, mechanical, quality) to identify integration issues, improve processes, and evaluate technical options
• Document work thoroughly and participate in code reviews

Requirements

• Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Math, Physics or related field AND a minimum of 5 years relevant experience OR an equivalent combination of education and experience
• Excellent academics (cumulative GPA greater than or equal to 3.0 as a general rule)
• Demonstrated proficiency with designing well-architected software systems and modules that support new technology or improve capability/performance of existing functionality
• Demonstrated competence with researching fundamental problems and implementing appropriate algorithmic solutions
• Demonstrated ability to serve as a lead software engineer for a complex software project
• Ability to decompose functional requirements into well-defined tasks while balancing quality, quantity, and complexity in work output
• Demonstrated capability to offer peer technical assessments in areas of expertise, new technologies, and software designs
• Mastered proficiency in writing software in C, C++ or Python and relevant experience and/or training in data structures or object-oriented design methodology
• Demonstrated strong and effective verbal, written, and interpersonal communication skills
• Must be positive, detail-oriented, organized, team-oriented, and a driven problem solver, multi-tasker, and self-starter with the ability to prioritize and lead in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment

Qualifications

• Experience with hardware engineering tools (multimeter, oscilloscope, debuggers, simulators)
• Outstanding academics (cumulative GPA greater than or equal to 3.5)
• Previous work or internship experience in hardware/software integration testing or design
