Senior Firmware Engineer

Staff Firmware Engineer - Embedded Systems / BLE / RTOS

Summary of Role

A cutting-edge medical technology company developing next-generation implantable and connected devices is seeking a highly hands-on Staff Firmware Engineer to lead embedded firmware development across complex electromechanical systems.

This is a senior-level technical role for someone who can own firmware development end-to-end - from architecture and implementation through debugging, integration, verification, and product release. The ideal candidate has deep expertise in Embedded C , RTOS-based systems , hardware/software integration, and low-power wireless devices.

This is not a high-level management role - the team is looking for a true "plug-and-play" embedded engineer who can immediately contribute within a fast-moving multidisciplinary environment.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, test, and optimize embedded firmware across the full product lifecycle
  
  
• Own firmware architecture, implementation, debugging, and subsystem integration activities
  
  
• Develop embedded software for communication systems, power management, ASIC interfaces, and low-level hardware interactions
  
  
• Optimize low-power embedded systems, including BLE communication and wireless performance
  
  
• Troubleshoot complex real-world embedded system issues across hardware/software boundaries
  
  
• Collaborate closely with electrical, mechanical, systems, software, and quality engineering teams
  
  
• Support verification, reliability, and compliance activities for regulated products
  
  
• Improve software development processes, tooling, automation, and DevOps infrastructure
  
  
• Support development of connected systems involving embedded processors, applications, and cloud-based infrastructure

Requirements

• B.S. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related technical field with 6+ years of embedded firmware experience
  OR
  
  
• M.S. with 4+ years of relevant industry experience
  
  
• Strong hands-on programming experience in Embedded C/C++
  
  
• Deep experience with RTOS-based embedded platforms ( required )
  
  
• Strong hardware/software integration and debugging experience
  
  
• Experience with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and wireless communication protocols
  
  
• Experience developing firmware for low-power embedded systems
  
  
• Strong systems-level debugging and troubleshooting capability
  
  
• Experience working across complex embedded subsystems rather than isolated modules
  
  
• Background in regulated or safety-critical industries such as medical devices, aerospace, automotive, or defense is highly valued
  
  
• Familiarity with embedded cybersecurity concepts, CI/CD workflows, test automation, and modern software development methodologies is a plus
  
  
• Experience with medical device software standards (ISO 13485, ISO 14971, IEC 62304) is preferred but not required
