About the role
We are seeking a Staff Software Engineer specializing in hands-on embedded C++ development for real-time feedback control systems running on an RTOS on an embedded microcontroller (MCU). You will build production firmware for medical instrument control platforms, contributing across requirements, development, integration, verification support, and sustaining in a regulated product development environment.
Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and deliver reliable, high-quality embedded software with strong emphasis on C/C++ for embedded systems.
- Develop and integrate real-time firmware/software for medical instrument control products, including timing-critical behaviors and deterministic execution on an RTOS.
- Drive software requirements with team members and proactively integrate with system requirements to ensure end-to-end system performance.
- Participate in change control activities, including investigation and resolution of software defects.
- Apply software engineering best practices (unit/integration testing, static analysis, code reviews, design reviews, and clear documentation).
- Collaborate across disciplines (software, systems, electrical, mechanical) and with non-engineering partners to deliver programs on schedule.
- Support application/customer engineering needs as required, including troubleshooting and technical communication.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, or related discipline (Master’s preferred).
- 14+ years of applicable, progressively complex software design/development experience.
- Strong proficiency in embedded C++ (and C), including developing production firmware on resource-constrained systems.
- Expertise working with Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS) in embedded products.
- Demonstrated ability to produce robust software using disciplined engineering practices (debugging, defect resolution, and configuration/change control participation).
