Reporting to the Embedded Software Engineering Manager, you will collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure compliance with applicable medical software standards and development processes. The ideal candidate will have significant experience in embedded HMI/GUI development, particularly using Qt within regulated or safety-critical industries, along with a strong background in software architecture and technical documentation.

General Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain HMI applications for embedded systems, ensuring responsive, intuitive, and safe user interfaces.
• Implement software solutions on Embedded Linux platforms using modern programming languages and UI frameworks.
• Collaborate closely with software architects, firmware engineers, test engineers, and technical leads to ensure implementation aligns with design specifications and safety requirements.
• Lead or contribute to software requirements definition, architecture documentation, design reviews, code reviews, and risk assessments.
• Apply unit testing, static analysis, and software engineering best practices to ensure high quality and maintainability.
• Support system integration, debugging, and verification activities.
• Ensure end-to-end traceability from requirements through implementation and testing in line with regulatory expectations.
• Create and maintain high-quality technical documentation covering architecture, design, implementation, and verification activities.

Skills and Experience

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• Several years of professional experience in embedded HMI software development, ideally within medical devices or other regulated safety-critical industries.
• Strong experience with Qt-based HMI/GUI development for Embedded Linux in a product development environment.
• Demonstrated experience in software architecture and design, including technical documentation and structured decision-making.
• Solid understanding of regulated or safety-critical software development processes; experience with medical software standards is highly desirable.
• Proficiency in modern C++; Python experience is beneficial.
• Hands‑on experience with Embedded Linux and build systems such as Yocto or Buildroot.
• Understanding of HMI design principles, usability, and user-centered development.
• Experience applying unit testing, static analysis, and coding standards such as MISRA C++ or CERT C++.
• Familiarity with communication protocols including CAN, Ethernet, and USB.
• Working knowledge of quality and risk management standards is advantageous.
• Experience with Git, Jira, Confluence, and Agile development methodologies.
• Strong troubleshooting and debugging skills in complex embedded environments.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
• Comfortable working within regulated, safety-critical development environments.
