Senior Staff Engineer, Software

Work Flexibility: Onsite This role is for SFTC-PV for a Senior Staff Engineer with experience in Embedded Systems. You will provide technical leadership for the architecture, design, development, integration, verification, and lifecycle support of embedded software for innovative medical-device platforms. You will solve complex, system-level problems; establish reusable technical approaches; influence product and platform roadmaps; and guide cross-functional teams in translating clinical, system, hardware, cybersecurity, and regulatory needs into safe, robust, and scalable solutions. This role combines deep hands-on expertise in real-time embedded development, low-level software, motor-control applications, hardware–software integration, and verification with broad technical ownership, mentoring, and decision-making across multiple projects. What you will do: Technical Responsibilities Provide technical leadership for the architecture, design, development, integration, test, release, and maintenance of scalable embedded software for medical-device and electromechanical systems.Own critical technical decisions and system-level trade-offs across software, electronics, controls, FPGA, cybersecurity, usability, and product performance. Define embedded software architecture, interfaces, technology roadmaps, reusable platforms, engineering standards, and long-term modernization strategies across products and programs.Develop and review production-quality firmware and low-level software in C and C++ for ARM-based microcontrollers, microprocessors, DSPs, and FPGA-enabled platforms. Architect and implement closed-loop control solutions, including motor-control and PID algorithms, with deterministic hard real-time performance, safety, and reliability.Lead development and debugging of board support packages, bootloaders, device drivers, hardware abstraction layers, middleware, and low-level communication interfaces. Guide development on real-time operating systems and embedded Linux platforms, including scheduling, concurrency, memory management, inter-process communication, system performance, and reliability optimization. Define and troubleshoot interfaces and protocols such as SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, USB, Ethernet, and other wired or wireless communications as applicable.Translate clinical, system, software, and hardware needs into architecture, requirements, detailed designs, interfaces, implementation plans, and verification strategies. Champion object-oriented design, design patterns, modular architecture, coding standards, defensive programming, secure-software practices, and design for testability and maintainability.Partner with electrical and systems engineers to review schematics, datasheets, timing diagrams, component specifications, board designs, failure modes, and hardware–software integration risks.
