Staff Embedded Software Engineer

What You Will Do

• Design, develop, debug, and improve production software using (primarily) C++ on Embedded Linux platforms.
• Own software architecture and technical direction for assigned products while remaining actively involved in implementation.
• Translate user, clinical, product, and system needs into software requirements, architecture, interfaces, and working software.
• Drive integration across application software, embedded firmware, electronics, sensors, controls, user interfaces, and external systems.
• Lead complex technical investigations and root-cause analysis using code, logs, instrumentation, and hands-on testing.
• Make sound technical decisions and evaluate design tradeoffs while balancing product, system, and software requirements.
• Partner closely with Systems, Embedded Software, Electrical, Mechanical, Test, Quality, Regulatory, Manufacturing, and Product Management throughout the product lifecycle.
• Participate in architecture, design, and code reviews to support high-quality software development.
• Support other engineers through technical collaboration and knowledge sharing as the software organization continues to grow.
• Contribute to operating room integration, technology exploration, early discovery, feasibility activities, and prototyping for future products.
• Support existing software, including troubleshooting and understanding legacy application code as products and platforms evolve.
