Talent STEM are working with an innovative medical device organisation that is expanding its embedded software capability and seeking an Experienced Embedded Software Engineer to join a growing technical team.
This role offers the chance to work on complex, high-reliability medical systems in a highly regulated, quality-driven environment. You will be part of a collaborative R&D function developing embedded software for safety-critical and performance-critical medical devices used in clinical and healthcare settings.
The Role
As an Embedded Software Engineer, you will play a key role in the design, development and verification of embedded software for medical devices. Working closely with hardware, systems and quality teams, you will contribute across the full development lifecycle from requirements through to testing, validation and regulatory compliance.
You will also help improve development processes, support system integration and contribute to the continuous improvement of engineering standards aligned with medical device regulations and quality systems.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, develop and maintain embedded software for medical devices
- Support requirements definition and software architecture in line with regulatory standards
- Implement and verify firmware for embedded platforms used in medical systems
- Support hardware bring-up, integration and debugging activities
- Develop test and support tools for development and manufacturing
- Apply software best practices including version control, code reviews and testing
- Contribute to risk management, hazard analysis and quality activities
- Produce clear and structured technical documentation suitable for regulated environments
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary R&D, quality and regulatory teams
- Provide technical support and guidance when required
About You
You will be an experienced embedded software engineer with a strong background in low-level development and real-time systems, ideally within regulated safety-critical industries.
