Software Engineering Manager

About the role

We are seeking a highly skilled and driven Senior Embedded Software Engineer to join our global R&D team in developing embedded software for cutting-edge optoelectronic and electromechanical devices across consumer, industrial, and medical markets. In this role, you will lead the design, implementation, and documentation of board-level firmware in C/C++, contributing throughout the full software development lifecycle. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to translate system-level requirements into embedded system specifications, define interface architectures, and ensure compliance with industry standards such as IEC , ISO , and ISO . Your work will directly impact the performance, reliability, and scalability of safety-critical medical devices.

As a key contributor, you will drive software architecture and design reviews, lead integration and testing efforts, and support regulatory submissions and audits. You'll collaborate intensively with electrical, mechanical, systems, quality, regulatory, and clinical teams to deliver robust solutions in a fast-paced, regulated environment. Applying Agile and CI/CD principles, you will help maintain traceability between requirements and test protocols, author and maintain technical documentation, and contribute to configuration management and milestone reviews. This is a unique opportunity to shape life-changing healthcare innovations while working at the forefront of embedded systems engineering.

Main responsibilities will include:

·Translate system-level requirements into embedded system requirements and interface definitions

·Assess technical feasibility and contribute to embedded system architecture and design concepts

·Establish embedded hardware and firmware architecture and decompose systems into lower-level building blocks

·Design, implement, and maintain real-time embedded software using C/C++ for safety-critical medical devices, ensuring compliance with IEC , ISO , ISO , and other relevant medical device standards.

·Writing and documenting board-level C/C++ code.

·Lead software architecture and design reviews, ensuring reliability, testability, and scalability

·Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including electrical, mechanical, and systems engineers

·Drive and perform verification and validation strategies, including unit, integration, and system testing

·Author and maintain documentation for software architecture, design specifications, and risk analysis

·Participate in regulatory submissions and support audits when required

·Maintain traceability between requirements and test protocols, records/reports

·Follow good laboratory practices to qualify, validate, and maintain tools and equipment

·Contribute to configuration management and technical/design/milestone reviews

·Collaborate intensively with Quality, Regulatory, Clinical, and Project Management teams

·Apply Agile and CI/CD principles to maximize quality and performance

About you:

·Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field

·Minimum 7 years of experience in embedded software development, preferably in medical device or other regulated industries

·Strong proficiency in C; working knowledge of C++ and Python is a plus

·Experience with microcontrollers, RTOS, low-level drivers, and embedded Linux

·Familiarity with IEC , ISO , and ISO standards

·Skilled in hardware abstraction layers, bootloaders, BSP, and driver development

·Experience with ARM Cortex processors and memory management

·Proficient in communication protocols (SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, USB)

·Hands-on debugging using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and similar tools

·Experience with unit testing and test automation frameworks (e.g., CPPUnit, LDRA, Coverity, Parasoft)

·Familiarity with Agile/Scrum methodologies and tools (e.g., Jira, Azure DevOps)

·Experience with CI/CD pipelines and build/test infrastructures (e.g., Jenkins, Git, Make, GCC)

·Strong analytical, documentation, and communication skills

·High-energy, self-motivated, and able to work effectively in a diverse, international team

Preferred Technical Experience:

·Experience with Xilinx FPGA/SoC programming

·Knowledge of cybersecurity requirements for connected medical devices (e.g., FDA premarket guidance)
