Job Title: Principal Medical Device Development Engineer (Embedded)
Location: Waltham, MA
Project Overview
The customer is a global medical-device company developing point-of-care diagnostic systems used in hospitals and clinical environments.
The project supports the development, maintenance, and remediation of an established medical-device product line. The scope includes embedded software development, analysis of existing implementations, resolution of design and documentation gaps, product improvements, and support throughout the regulated medical‑device lifecycle.
We are looking for a Principal‑level Embedded Software Engineer who can provide hands‑on technical leadership and solve complex system and software problems in a regulated environment.
Role Overview
The Principal Medical Device Embedded Software Engineer will serve as a senior individual contributor responsible for the architecture, design, implementation, integration, and maintenance of embedded software for regulated medical devices.
The role requires deep embedded‑development expertise combined with practical knowledge of medical‑device design controls, risk management, verification, traceability, and Design History File documentation.
The engineer will work closely with Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Software Quality Assurance, Verification and Validation, Regulatory Affairs, Manufacturing, and other cross‑functional stakeholders.
This is not a people‑management position. The successful candidate will lead through technical ownership, architectural decision‑making, mentoring, and cross‑functional influence.

- Demonstrated experience operating at Principal Engineer, Senior Staff Engineer, Software Architect, or equivalent technical‑leadership level.
- Strong hands‑on experience developing embedded software in C and/or C++.
- Experience developing software for regulated medical devices, IVD systems, healthcare products, or another safety‑critical regulated industry.
- Experience with the complete embedded software lifecycle, including requirements, architecture, design, implementation, integration, verification, release, and maintenance.
- Strong understanding of embedded‑system architecture and hardware‑software interaction.
- Experience debugging complex embedded systems using appropriate hardware and software tools.
- Experience developing and maintaining multithreaded, real‑time, or event‑driven embedded applications.
- Experience with embedded operating systems, embedded Linux, or real‑time operating systems.
- Experience with device drivers, hardware abstraction, communication interfaces, and peripheral integration.
- Strong understanding of software architecture,…
