Qualificações

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical discipline.
• 10+ years developing embedded firmware, embedded software, or device software for commercial products.
• Senior technical leadership background, including leading embedded software design decisions, mentoring engineers, setting technical direction, or serving as a technical lead for complex product development efforts.
• Strong proficiency in C/C++ development for microcontrollers, RTOS, bare-metal systems, or resource-constrained embedded environments.
• Depth in embedded software architecture, module design, interface definition, state machines, communication protocols, diagnostics, embedded debugging, and hardware/software integration.
• Regulated product development background, with knowledge of medical device software lifecycle expectations such as IEC 62304, design controls, requirements traceability, software verification, risk management, and design history file documentation.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical issues, risks, and trade-offs to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Responsabilidades

• Lead the design, development, debugging, integration, and maintenance of embedded software for Class II regulated medical device products.
• Define and evolve embedded software architecture, module boundaries, interfaces, design patterns, and technical standards that support reliability, maintainability, testability, cybersecurity, and long-term product support.
• Provide technical leadership for connected device capabilities, including Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, mobile/cloud integration, provisioning, diagnostics, telemetry, secure updates, and data exchange across firmware, mobile, and cloud systems.
• Develop embedded software in C/C++ for microcontroller, RTOS, bare-metal, and resource-constrained environments while helping evaluate and establish future embedded Linux platform capabilities.
• Create clear software architecture, design specification, interface definition, traceability, verification, cybersecurity, and release documentation that supports regulated product development and submission readiness.
• Contribute to platform-level decisions involving bootloaders, device drivers, board support packages, middleware, communication stacks, diagnostics, software update mechanisms, and device application behavior.
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship through design reviews, code reviews, implementation planning, troubleshooting, and technical trade-off decisions.
• Improve embedded software engineering practices related to source control, peer review, static analysis, unit testing, automated builds, CI/CD, release readiness, defect prevention, and post-release support.
