Embedded Firmware Engineer

About the role

We are seeking an experienced embedded software engineer to help develop, maintain,

verify, and document the software running on a medical device. The contractor will work on

the device's Linux-based console control firmware, collaborating with hardware, FPGA,

systems, quality, and regulatory stakeholders.

Responsibilities

• Implement and maintain embedded C and C++ features across drivers, managers,

state-machine logic, data collection, and signal-processing components.

• Diagnose defects using source inspection, logs, target-device behavior, hardware

interfaces, and reproducible test cases.

• Design changes that preserve deterministic behavior, timing requirements, error

handling, and safe device responses.

• Develop unit, integration, hardware-in-the-loop, and regression tests appropriate to

the change and available test infrastructure.

• Follow all applicable quality-system procedures.

Required qualifications

• Demonstrated professional experience developing production embedded software

in C and C++ for medical devices.

• Strong knowledge of C++11 or later, including memory ownership, low-level data

handling, interfaces, and debugging.

• Experience with Linux-based embedded systems, cross-compilation, shell tools,

and build systems such as Make.

• Experience debugging concurrent systems using threads, mutexes, queues, timers,

and synchronization primitives.

Preferred qualifications

• Experience with Yocto/OpenEmbedded, cross-toolchains, Docker/Podman,

Jenkins, and Linux target deployment.

Experience developing software for medical devices, laboratory instruments,

cardiovascular systems, imaging, energy delivery, or other safety-critical products.
