Senior Firmware / Hardware Engineer
Cure Talent is partnering with an emerging wearable medical technology company at a defining stage of its growth. The business is transitioning from research and development into industrialisation and regulated market entry, producing next‑generation optical monitoring solutions that deliver medical‑grade physiological insights beyond the hospital environment.
We have an opportunity for a Senior Firmware / Hardware Engineer to join the organisation at a pivotal point in its journey. This role is heavily weighted towards embedded firmware and will play a key part in taking ownership of firmware development, reducing reliance on external consultancies, and supporting the evolution of a medical device platform already approaching design freeze.
Key Responsibilities
* Lead embedded firmware development for MCU‑based systems, including real‑time data acquisition and communication interfaces.
* Take ownership of firmware across the product lifecycle, from development through to verification, validation, and release under design control.
* Develop and maintain systems in line with IEC 62304 and support compliance with IEC standards.
* Support ongoing product updates, patches, and next‑generation development on an established platform.
* Work closely with hardware, systems, and external partners to ensure robust integration and delivery.
Experience and Skills Required
* Strong experience in embedded firmware development using C/C++ on MCU‑based systems.
* Proven experience working within medical devices or other regulated environments, with hands‑on exposure to IEC 62304 and related standards.
* Experience taking products through development into release, including work under design control.
* Strong understanding of real‑time data acquisition and embedded system architecture.
* Ability to take ownership of firmware development and operate as a senior technical lead.
Nice to Have
* Experience working with wireless communication protocols such as BLE, WiFi, or similar.
* Experience with sensor integration or physiological data acquisition.
* Exposure to both analogue and digital electronics design.
* Experience working in fast‑paced R&D environments with evolving product requirements.
* Experience supporting or managing external engineering partners or consultancies.
If you’re a senior firmware engineer looking to take ownership of a medical device platform and play a key role in its ongoing development, we’d love to hear from you.
