About the role

We are seeking a Staff Embedded Software & Controls Engineer to join our team. This role involves designing and developing embedded software, firmware, and control systems for complex electromechanical medical devices. The ideal candidate will have experience in medical device development or similar regulated or safety-critical industries.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop embedded software using C/C++, bare-metal, and/or RTOS-based platforms.
• Develop and optimize real-time embedded control algorithms for pressure regulation, temperature control, motor control, sensing, fluid management, and other electromechanical subsystems.
• Develop firmware supporting sensors, actuators, motors, thermal systems, power electronics, and multi-board embedded architectures.
• Support embedded software architecture and integration across hardware, firmware, and system interfaces.
• Collaborate closely with Electrical, Mechanical, Systems, Quality, Manufacturing, and Regulatory partners.
• Develop scalable embedded software architectures supporting current and future generations of platform technologies.
• Investigate and resolve complex hardware, firmware, and system-level issues through structured debugging and root cause analysis.
• Evaluate engineering tradeoffs across software performance, reliability, manufacturability, safety, maintainability, and cost.
• Support verification and validation activities, including unit testing, integration testing, and system-level testing.
• Participate in software architecture reviews, technical design reviews, peer code reviews, and multidisciplinary design reviews.
• Create and maintain software architecture documentation, requirements, design documentation, verification protocols, and related technical deliverables.
• Provide technical input on embedded software design, debugging methodologies, development tools, and engineering best practices.
• Contribute to future platform direction by evaluating embedded technologies, software architectures, development tools, and engineering practices.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
• 4+ years of experience designing and developing embedded software for complex electromechanical products.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience designing and developing embedded software for complex electromechanical products in regulated or safety-critical industries.
• Experience developing embedded software using C/C++ on bare-metal and/or RTOS-based embedded platforms.
• Experience designing and implementing embedded control systems, including feedback control, state machines, control loop tuning, or similar real-time control algorithms.
• Strong understanding of embedded control systems, including PID control, state machines, control loop tuning, and real-time embedded software.
• Experience with pressure control, motor control, thermal regulation, sensor integration, fluid management, or other electromechanical control systems.
• Demonstrated experience debugging complex hardware, firmware, and system-level interactions.
• Experience working within structured product development processes, including requirements management, design reviews, verification, validation, and risk management.
• Experience developing products within regulated or safety-critical industries such as medical device, aerospace, automotive, robotics, industrial automation, defense, or similar environments.

Benefits

• Health benefits: Medical, prescription drug insurance, dental insurance, vision insurance, critical illness insurance, accident insurance, hospital indemnity insurance, personalized healthcare support, wellbeing program, and tobacco cessation program.
• Financial benefits: Health Savings Account (HSA), Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs), 401(k) plan, Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), basic life and AD&D insurance, and short-term disability insurance.
