Embedded Software Engineer

This is a fantastic opportunity for a skilled Embedded Software Engineer with proven experience in Medical Devices. Ideal for someone who thrives in an autonomous, high-responsibility environment and has a track record of delivering robust, production-ready embedded software.

You will work on next-generation wireless and connected medical devices, taking products from concept through to regulatory-compliant release.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain embedded C firmware for ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers in bare-metal or RTOS environments.
• Implement modular, maintainable, and testable code suitable for safety-critical medical devices.
• Conduct code reviews, debugging, and optimisation with a focus on performance and power efficiency.
• Apply regulatory standards and software development lifecycle processes (IEC 62304, ISO 13485) throughout the project.
• Collaborate with hardware engineers to interpret schematics and datasheets.
• Produce and maintain technical documentation, including software requirements, design specifications, and verification plans.
• Participate in risk management, verification, and validation activities as required for medical device compliance.

Requirements

Must-Have:

• 5+ years of embedded software development experience.
• Strong, hands-on expertise in C programming for embedded systems.
• Deep experience with ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers and associated toolchains (GCC, CMake, etc.).
• Proficient with RTOS environments such as FreeRTOS or Zephyr.
• Experience working within regulated industry (IEC 62304, ISO 13485).
• Proficient with version control (Git) and hardware debugging tools (oscilloscopes, logic analysers).
• Comfortable working autonomously.

Nice-to-Have:

• Experience with wireless communication stacks (Bluetooth, BLE).
• Familiarity with test-driven development (TDD) or CI/CD pipelines.
• Exposure to higher-level languages such as Rust, Python or Java for tooling.
