## Description

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.
