Lead Firmware Engineer

Key Skills: RTOS, Bare metal programming, Firmware, C/C++, Bootloader

Roles and Responsibilities:

• Design firmware architecture for real-time embedded systems used in Class II/III medical devices, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards such as FDA and IEC 62304
• Develop and maintain embedded C/C++ code for microcontrollers and embedded processors, including implementation of low-level drivers, communication protocols (e.g., UART, SPI, I2C), and control algorithms
• Author and maintain detailed design specifications, interface control documents, and technical documentation in accordance with design control requirements for regulated environments
• Perform system-level integration of firmware with hardware and software components, validating functionality through structured test protocols and verification procedures
• Debug and troubleshoot embedded systems using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG/SWD debuggers, and other diagnostic tools to resolve hardware-software interaction issues

Skills Required:

• Proficiency in C and C++ programming for embedded systems with demonstrated experience in bare-metal and RTOS-based development
• Hands-on experience with communication protocols including SPI, I2C, UART, and USB in embedded applications
• Industry experience in control systems engineering including PID controller tuning and firmware development for stepper and DC motor control
• Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field with applied knowledge in embedded software design and hardware integration

It would be a plus if you also possess previous experience in:

• Strong knowledge of microcontroller architectures (e.g., ARM Cortex-M) and peripherals (e.g., ADC, DAC, Timers)
• Experience developing bootloaders
• Familiarity with risk management practices (ISO 14971)
• Experience with embedded Linux
• Experience with scripting and process automation

Education: B.S. degree with 5+ years or M.S. degree with 3+ years of professional experience in embedded systems and firmware development in resource-constrained environments
