Embedded Software Engineer

Introduction

We are looking for a highly capable and knowledgeable Embedded Software Engineer with ambition to turn brilliant ideas into technologies, products and services that are new to the world.

As part of our Software and Electronics team, you will be working on ground-breaking projects that improve lives worldwide. Your expertise will shape the future of healthcare and advance your own expertise through hands-on experience with cutting-edge technology.

Your role

We are looking for someone who can design and develop embedded software into differing hardware, offering a dynamic challenge with amazing results.

Each project is different, and you will get involved at all stages of the development lifecycle.  

We can’t talk about everything we do, but here are some of our past projects we get excited about: 

• An emergency-use ventilator, developed in just over six weeks in response to the government’s Ventilator Challenge
• A neurostimulation device allowing treatment to improve, or even restore, someone’s ability to walk
• An autoinjector capable of delivering a wide range of drugs, while being intuitive to use and beautiful to look at 

What will you be doing?

In this role you will be specifying, designing, developing and testing embedded software for complex medical systems used for a wide variety of diagnostic, surgical, implantable device, and drug delivery applications. Beyond embedded software, there is a broad range of projects requiring skills across the full software development lifecycle. 

You will be part of a multidisciplinary and supportive team as many of the systems you will be working on will include electronics, optics, fluidics, robotics, and user-interface components, thus requiring an all-round engineering knowledge, attention to detail and good team-work skills. 

We work using industry best practices including continuous integration, automated testing and analysis, and model-based systems engineering. 

What can you bring?

We’re looking for someone who digs into the “why”, not just when things do not work, but even when they work unexpectedly. A proactive, investigative nature is ideal to succeed and enjoy this opportunity.

Requirements: 

• A degree in Software Engineering or Computer Science, or equivalent experience 
• Knowledge of C
• Programming on either bare-metal or RTOS
• Embedded software experience 

 The following skills and experiences are advantageous, but not essential: 

• Experience in Linux, python and C++
• Knowledge of electronics and physical interactions with software
• Signal processing, data science or AI knowledge
• Experience working alongside hardware engineers
