Sr. Embedded Software Engineer

Join to apply for the Sr. Embedded Software Engineer role at Mettler-Toledo International, Inc in Columbia, MD.

• Working at METTLER TOLEDO Auto Chem Inc. () means you are impacting the world in important ways. Our process analytical technology and automated synthesis reactors provide scientists in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and chemical industries the information they need to deliver life‑changing products. As a strategic business unit within Mettler Toledo, Auto Chem develops, manufactures, sells, and services instruments that modernize chemical synthesis, provide insight into every chemical reaction, and provide process knowledge to eliminate scale‑up and safety incidents.
• Our instruments increase the efficiency and effectiveness of chemists and engineers.
• Our products help develop profitable, green, and safe scientific processes.
• We help keep you healthy. Our instruments make it possible for scientists to develop new drugs and bring life‑saving medicines to the world.

Reporting to the Head of Engineering, Hardware, this position will be responsible for leading embedded software development and integration with electronics projects for a series of analytical instruments and devices. Based on various embedded frameworks, software libraries, and specifically tailored development tools, the position will lead all development phases of embedded engineering from architectural design, implementation and testing.

• Independently design software/firmware architectures based on an internal model framework and development processes.
• Collaborate with R&D team members to design, develop, and test electronic, electro‑mechanical, and optoelectronic components, subsystems (including systems on chip/module), and systems for integration into new scientific and legacy products.
• Provide software interfaces to connect device drivers, PC software, and peripherals to instruments. Integrate software libraries and drivers provided by external partners and team members. Collaborate with the R&D team to set the firmware/API requirements for the external partners.
• Generate embedded software code and conduct internal design reviews for performance, testability, manufacturability, and serviceability.
• Collaborate with hardware and software engineers and scientists to enable prototyping and development of software interfaces in parallel with hardware design and verification.

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer science, or related field, or equivalent combination of education and experience.
• Seven (7) years of software development experience as an embedded software architect and system‑level firmware designer and developer.
• Detailed knowledge of microprocessors and embedded computing systems and associated subsystems, as well as software development lifecycle process and various SDLC models.
• Excellent C, C++; experience with the GNU tool chain and/or MS Visual Studio/VS Code; experience with off‑target embedded development using cross‑compiling tool chains, MATLAB, or C# is a plus.
• Extensive knowledge of Windows and Linux operating systems, various software configuration management tools, and best practices related to SCM disciplines. Driver development experience is a plus.
• Experience designing, developing, testing, and deploying service applications that expose APIs enabling client interactions; especially request/response (REQ/RSP) and publish/subscribe (PUB/SUB) models.
• Microcontroller experience and experience with highly constrained computing platforms is required. Microchip MPLABX‑IDE and/or other embedded platform development tool chains are a plus.
• Experience with embedded operating systems and knowledge of embedded operating system operational modes. Embedded Linux, FreeRTOS, VxWorks, or other real‑time operating systems and development experience are a plus.
• Hands‑on experience with electronics, including testing, validating, and troubleshooting assembled circuit boards using digital voltmeter, oscilloscope, and other hardware/software analysis tools.

• Medical, dental, and…
