Partner closely with electrical, mechanical, and systems engineers to ensure seamless hardware‑software integration, and collaborate with regulatory, quality, and manufacturing teams to support compliance, verification, and validation activities and product submissions. Lead and mentor engineers through design reviews, code reviews, and system‑level problem solving, while working with management to identify technical gaps, staffing needs, and training opportunities that strengthen the embedded software team. Own technical deliverables, schedules, and documentation for embedded software projects, supporting planning, estimation, prioritization, and proactive identification and mitigation of technical and compliance risks throughout the product lifecycle. Qualifications Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, or related discipline. 5+ years of embedded software development experience, preferably within regulated or safety‑critical industries. Strong proficiency in C and C++ for embedded systems, with additional experience in Python or C# considered a plus. Hands‑on experience with RTOS‑based systems, embedded development workflows, and hardware‑level debugging tools. Proven ability to integrate software with complex electromechanical systems and work effectively across hardware and software boundaries. Experience leading or mentoring engineers in a hands‑on technical environment. Deep understanding of software quality systems, documentation control, and risk management. Working knowledge of version control and issue‑tracking tools such as Git and JIRA. Salary Range: $150,000—$200,000 USD #J-18808-Ljbffr SupportFinity™
