## Description

We're seeking a Senior Firmware Engineer to own the embedded firmware architecture and development for our next-generation medical device platform. This is a hands-on, individual-contributor role focused on writing, architecting, and owning firmware end-to-end - from driver-level work through system integration - working closely with hardware, systems, and external development partners to bring the platform from design through verification and production., * Own firmware architecture and technical roadmap, including driver development, RTOS integration, connectivity, and UI/embedded software work

 * Design, write, and debug embedded C firmware for STM32/MCU-based platforms, including peripheral-level work (GPIO, ADC, timers, PWM, UART, SPI, I²C, DMA, interrupts)
 * Review and provide technical direction on firmware architecture developed by external firmware partners, including build, release, and configuration management processes
 * Diagnose and resolve issues spanning the hardware/firmware boundary, working closely with electronics/board engineers during bring-up and debug
 * Define and execute firmware-level verification test plans in collaboration with Quality
 * Keep firmware development activities aligned with Design Controls, IEC 62304, and IEC 60601 requirements
 * Support technical investigations for field issues, NCRs, and CAPAs related to firmware
