Job Description
Senior Embedded Systems Engineer, Medical Devices
San Diego, CA (onsite/hybrid) | Full-time
About the role
A growing medical device company is hiring a Senior Embedded Systems Engineer to own firmware for its next-generation device platform. You'll develop mainly in embedded C on STM32-based hardware, working across real-time control, device drivers, BLE connectivity, bootloader and firmware update infrastructure, and CI/CD. You'll collaborate with hardware, systems, quality, and product teams to take the platform from prototype through verification and into production.
What you'll do
* Design, implement, debug, and maintain production-quality embedded firmware, mainly in C
* Write drivers for sensors, pumps, fans, chillers, communication modules, audio, displays, and other peripherals
* Implement real-time control for temperature and fluid-management subsystems
* Configure and troubleshoot MCU peripherals (GPIO, ADC, timers, PWM, UART, SPI, I²C, DMA, interrupts)
* Integrate the embedded graphical interface (TouchGFX, C++) and BLE connectivity
* Contribute to bootloader, secure and over-the-air firmware updates, image signing, and production programming
* Diagnose system-level issues with debuggers, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers
* Maintain automated build, test, static analysis, code coverage, and release processes
* Write unit tests and verification procedures, along with clear design and troubleshooting documentation
* Take part in design reviews, code reviews, and technical planning
Requirements
* BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent experience
* Strong professional experience developing embedded software in C
* Solid embedded fundamentals: memory management, interrupts, timing, state machines, and hardware/software interfaces
* Experience bringing up, debugging, and integrating firmware on physical hardware
* Comfortable reading schematics, datasheets, and hardware interface specs
* Familiarity with SPI, I²C, UART, and BLE
* Proficiency with Git (branches, pull requests, code review, merging)
* Able to work independently, make sound technical decisions, and communicate tradeoffs clearly
* RTOS experience (FreeRTOS, CMSIS-RTOS) preferred
* Embedded C++ UI development, ideally TouchGFX, preferred
* CI/CD for embedded firmware (CMake, Make, Docker) and automated C unit testing (Ceedling, Unity, CMock) preferred
* Bootloaders, secure boot, signed firmware, or over-the-air updates a plus
* STM32 ecosystem experience (CubeMX, HAL, CMSIS) a plus, and STM32N6 a big plus
* Regulated medical device software experience (design controls, risk management, cybersecurity) a plus
* Thermal-control, fluid-control, battery-powered, or electromechanical systems a plus
Why this role
* Become a key technical owner of the embedded platform and help shape its architecture and development practices
* Take a medical device from prototype to production
