Job description

Every minute matters in stroke treatment. Magnendo is developing robotic technology to make life-saving endovascular procedures faster, safer, and more accessible. By combining advanced robotics, magnetic navigation, and intelligent software, we are tackling one of the most technically demanding challenges in healthcare while aiming to expand access to advanced stroke care for patients around the world. Join us in shaping the future of endovascular intervention.

We’re looking for a Senior Embedded Platform Engineer to lead the development of the tools and infrastructure our software team uses to build, test, release, and deploy software for our medical-grade edge compute and robotics platform. As an early hire in this domain, you will be a critical part of the small, dedicated team we are building to bring our breakthrough technology from prototype to FDA-approved product.

You Will

• Be our technical expert for embedded development infrastructure, build systems, automated testing, and release engineering.
• Contribute to evaluation and selection of the operating system configuration (e.g. Linux variant, QNX, etc.) for our high performance medical grade system.
• Build deterministic, reproducible development and cross-compilation environments for the targets listed above.
• Design and maintain CI pipelines including static analysis, unit testing, integration testing, hardware-in-loop testing, and release qualification.
• Develop infrastructure for automated testing on simulators and physical hardware, including provisioning, test execution, artifact collection, and hardware resource management.
• Standardize dependency management, packaging, versioning, artifact storage, and release workflows.
• Automate software deployment to development systems, test systems, and target devices.
• Build Git workflows and release infrastructure that provides artifact integrity, provenance, traceability, and reproducibility.
• Make thoughtful build-versus-buy decisions for platform tooling and provide technical leadership to other engineers in developer infrastructure and release practices.
• Collaborate with Systems and Quality teams ensure that our platform and our process meet regulatory requirements.

You Are

• 5+ years of experience in platform engineering, developer infrastructure, devops, or build and release engineering with demonstrated ability to deliver the types of systems described above
• Experienced with production software development in an environment with high reliability requirements, preferably under a regulatory regime.
• Deeply knowledgeable about Linux/OS fundamentals and how distributions are controlled and maintained.
• Experienced with cross-compilation and software-delivery workflows for embedded or edge hardware.
• Experienced building shared tools and infrastructure used by software and algorithm development teams.
• Experienced in evaluating, selecting, and packaging 3rd party frameworks and libraries.
• Experienced designing and maintaining CI systems, automated test infrastructure, artifact repositories, dependency-management systems, and release pipelines.
• Proficient in Python and Bash, with the ability to build robust internal tools and maintainable automation.
• Comfortable troubleshooting C or C++ build systems and working with embedded software teams.
• A good collaborator who understands the importance of clear communication and humility.
• Able to convey complex engineering and infrastructure tradeoffs to cross-functional teams and external partners.

Bonus Points

• Experience in the medical device industry, ideally with interventional or robotic systems, working knowledge of medical device software requirements.
• Experience developing software under a regulatory framework such as medical device (e.g., IEC 62304, IEC 60601), functional safety (IEC 61508, ISO 13849), or automotive (ISO 26262)
• Experience with robotics or autonomous systems.
• Experience with embedded Linux, custom Linux distributions, RTOS environments, or high-performance edge compute platforms.
• Experience with Yocto, Buildroot, Debian packaging, or similar embedded build and packaging systems.
• Experience with any of CMake, Bazel, Ninja, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, Buildkite, Artifactory, or comparable tools.
• Experience with hardware-in-the-loop testing, automated test fixtures, and shared hardware test infrastructure.
