Firmware Engineer

Job Description Summary

Build intelligent technology that improves patient lives. We are seeking an entry‑level Firmware Engineer to join our team supporting advanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) systems. In this role, you will learn to design, develop, test, and integrate embedded software that supports reliable, real‑time performance for sophisticated medical devices, while gaining exposure to modern AI‑assisted approaches that can improve development quality and innovation.

You would bring some hands‑on experience with C++ and object‑oriented design and a strong interest in growing those skills with support from experienced teams. We believe great engineering starts with strong fundamentals and a growth mindset. If you’re early in your career, passionate about building robust software, eager to learn from experienced engineers, and excited to contribute to technology that improves patient care, we encourage you to apply, even if you don’t meet every preferred qualification.

• Develop and maintain embedded software using C++ and object‑oriented programming principles.
• Learn how real‑time firmware components interface with custom hardware while supporting requirements for safety, reliability, determinism, and testability.
• Collaborate with system, hardware, and firmware teams to understand product requirements and translate them into clear, actionable tasks.
• Participate in design and code reviews to learn and apply coding standards, best practices, and expectations for high‑quality software development.
• Work within an Agile development environment, including sprint planning, task execution, and continuous improvement activities.
• Build troubleshooting skills by investigating defects, documenting findings, and working with teammates to resolve issues.
• Communicate progress clearly, ask questions early, and take ownership of assigned work with team support.
• Bring curiosity and enthusiasm for AI‑assisted development, exploring responsible ways to use AI tools to improve code quality, testing, documentation, and developer efficiency.

• Bachelor’s degree (or foreign degree equivalent) in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
• Coursework, internship, co‑op, project, or academic experience using C++ and object‑oriented programming concepts.
• Foundational understanding of embedded systems, firmware, computer architecture, operating systems, or closely related software concepts.
• Willingness to learn the software development life cycle, from requirements through implementation, testing, and verification.

• Internship, co‑op, research, capstone, or personal project experience related to embedded software, firmware, or hardware/software integration.
• Exposure to software testing, debugging, version control, continuous integration, or automated test practices.
• Exposure to debugging tools such as emulators, JTAG debuggers, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers, or simulation environments.
• Familiarity with a real‑time operating system (RTOS), Linux‑based development environment, or embedded development toolchain.
• Interest in working in a regulated environment with structured documentation of requirements, designs, testing, and results.

We are committed to creating an inclusive workplace where individuals from all backgrounds and experiences can succeed. Career paths are not always linear, and we value diverse ways of thinking and learning.
