- ** Position Overview
** Join a team building the core intelligence that powers one of the world’s most advanced automated insulin delivery systems. As a Staff Embedded (Firmware) Software Engineer, you will operate at the intersection of algorithms, embedded systems, real-time control, and safety-critical medical engineering—directly shaping life-altering technology used by millions of people with diabetes.

This is not a maintenance role. You will own the transformation of next-generation insulin-dosing algorithms into highly optimized C implementations that run on constrained embedded medical devices. You’ll be a technical leader influencing architecture, guiding the team, and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in closed-loop control, signal processing, and device intelligence.

If you want to work on deeply technical, mission-driven, category-defining products—this is the role.
** What You’ll Lead & Build
*** Implement next-generation insulin-dosing algorithms by converting high-level algorithmic models into efficient, safety-critical C code for embedded medical devices.
* Architect and build next-gen control and signal-processing software that drives real-time insulin delivery decisions.
* Lead complex integrations across software, systems, hardware, and algorithm teams to build tightly coupled embedded solutions.
* Drive the design, verification, and validation of embedded systems in a regulated, safety-critical environment.
* Shape technical direction across the embedded platform, influencing architecture , design patterns, and best practices.
* Mentor engineers, lead design reviews, and act as a subject-matter expert for algorithm implementation and embedded systems.
** Who You Are
** A senior engineer who thrives in ambiguity, solves problems from first principles, and thinks in systems—not silos. Someone who can take a high-level algorithm written in Python/MATLAB and transform it into robust, production-grade embedded software capable of making real clinical decisions.

You understand the weight of building software for medical devices—and the excitement of working on products that have never been built before.
** Required Strengths
*** 7+ years building complex embedded systems
* Expert-level C for real-time, resource-constrained firmware environments
* Deep experience with microcontrollers (ARM, TI, ST, etc.)
* Strong grounding in control systems, algorithms , signal processing, and numerical techniques
* Ability to collaborate with algorithm scientists and translate models into device-ready implementations
* Excellent communication—clear, precise, and able to influence across teams
** Preferred Experience
*** Working with I2C/SPI/Flash/EEPROM/USB
* RTOS development
* Experience with C++
* FDA, IEC 62304, or other regulated development environments
* BLE or wireless protocol knowledge
* C-based object-oriented design
* Agile development environments
** Why Top Talent Chooses This Role
*** You will build software that directly influences patient safety and health outcomes—real impact, not hypothetical.
* You will work on cutting-edge algorithmic and embedded challenges that push technological boundaries.
* You will lead technically without needing to manage people—true ownership and autonomy.
* You’ll operate at a scale and level of complexity that very few embedded roles offer.
** Education & Experience
** Bachelor’s Degree or higher in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field or 4 additional years of experience in leu of a degree.
** Locations & Flexibility
** Hybrid or onsite in Acton, MA or San Diego, CA.Travel ~10%, flexible based on program needs.
