Software Engineer – Embedded Platform

Job Description Summary

Join an exciting software development team building next-generation embedded platforms for medical devices used in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and Labor & Delivery environments. As a Software Engineer, you will help establish the low-level software foundation that enables application, algorithm, connectivity, and feature teams to build efficiently on a reliable, embedded platform.

The Maternal Infant Care team is developing the future of medical technology for Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and Labor & Delivery environments. Our mission is to help send mothers and infants home healthy by building safe, reliable, and connected medical devices that support critical clinical care.

Own and develop low-level embedded software and reusable platform capabilities for next-generation medical devices, including operating system configuration, board support packages, device drivers, boot flows, hardware abstraction layers, and shared software infrastructure. Serve as a platform enabler by creating clean, maintainable foundations that allow application, algorithm, connectivity, and feature teams to develop efficiently within a shared code base. Collaborate with software architects, electrical engineers, systems engineers, quality, program, and platform teams to translate system architecture and product requirements into well-designed embedded software components.

Support hardware-software integration, board bring-up, debugging, and performance optimization across microprocessor, microcontroller, sensor, and connected-device environments. Design and implement software aligned with security, reliability, performance, scalability, maintainability, and medical device design-control expectations. Participate in technical design reviews, code reviews, integration reviews, risk-based engineering discussions, static analysis, unit testing, and disciplined issue resolution to deliver integrated software products with uncompromised quality.

Work in a fast-paced AI infused Agile/Scrum environment while researching, evaluating, and applying new tools, technologies, automation approaches, and AI-assisted development practices to improve engineering productivity and software quality.

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related STEM discipline and a minimum of 2 years of work experience as a software engineer in a product development team. Experience developing embedded software using C, C++, Python, or similar languages. Experience with embedded Linux, Unix/Linux programming, operating system concepts, STLinux or similar embedded Linux distributions, RTOS development, and low-level platform development.

Experience with microcontrollers, microprocessors, board-level interfaces, real-time constraints, scheduling, timing behavior, resource management, deterministic system performance, and hardware-software integration. Strong understanding of object-oriented design, design patterns, algorithms, data structures, and maintainable software architecture. Ability to work across disciplines and communicate technical decisions clearly to software, electrical, systems, quality, and program stakeholders. Legal authorization to work in the U.S. is required.

We will not sponsor individuals for employment visas, now or in the future, for this job opening.

Technical Experience with board bring-up, bootloaders, kernel configuration, device trees, device drivers, hardware abstraction layers, embedded platform debug, and hardware debug tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers, JTAG/SWD debuggers, or similar equipment. Ability to read schematics and collaborate with electrical engineering teams to debug hardware-software interactions across electronics, circuits, sensors, signals, and common embedded communication interfaces. Awareness of embedded cybersecurity principles, including secure boot, encryption, authentication, vulnerability mitigation, device hardening, software update integrity, and secure development practices.
