  • Partner with global engineering teams and architects to promote consistent design patterns and scalable architectural improvements across products
  • Participate in design and code reviews, sharing knowledge and upholding coding standards, best practices, and regulatory expectations
  • Contribute within a Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe), including PI planning, sprint execution, and continuous improvement initiatives
  • Mentor and support junior engineers, fostering a culture of learning, inclusion, and strong engineering fundamentals
  • Take ownership of your work by communicating progress transparently, identifying risks early, and reliably following through 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

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree (or foreign degree equivalent) in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field
  • 8 years of experience designing, developing, and debugging embedded or firmware software
  • Strong proficiency in C++ and object-oriented programming , including hands-on, on-target troubleshooting
  • Experience delivering software within development life cycle, from requirements through verification, * Master’s degree or PhD in a related technical field
  • 3 years of experience with continuous integration and automated testing
  • 5 years of experience troubleshooting embedded systems using tools such as emulators, JTAG debuggers, logic analyzers, and protocol analyzers
  • 5 years of experience working with a real-time operating system (RTOS) such as VxWorks
  • Experience working in a Linux-based development environment, including containerized workflows
  • Strong interest in and passion for AI-enabled development tools , such as those used for code comprehension, testing, refactoring, reviews, or documentation, applied in alignment with security, privacy, and quality standards
  • Experience working in regulated environments requiring structured documentation of requirements, designs, testing, and results
  • Experience developing medical devices within a Quality Management System (QMS)

We expect all employees to live and breathe our behaviors: to act with humility and build trust; lead with transparency; deliver with focus, and drive ownership -always with unyielding integrity.
