Job description

Job Description Summary
Build intelligent technology that improves patient lives.
We are seeking an experienced Firmware Engineer to join our team supporting advanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) systems. In this role, you will design, develop, and integrate embedded software that delivers reliable, real-time performance for highly sophisticated medical devices, while exploring how modern AI-assisted approaches can improve development quality and innovation.
You'll work hands-on with C++ and object-oriented design, collaborating closely with hardware, systems, and architecture partners. You'll join a team that values curiosity, forward thinking, and the responsible use of AI-based tools to enhance engineering productivity.
We believe great engineering thrives in an environment where people feel supported and empowered to grow. If you're passionate about building robust software, learning continuously, and contributing to technology that improves patient care, we encourage you to apply, even if you don't meet every qualification.
Job Description
What You'll Do
  • Lead firmware development efforts, including technical planning, execution, and progress tracking, in partnership with cross-functional teams
  • Design, develop, and maintain high-quality embedded software using modern C++ and object-oriented programming principles
  • Build real-time firmware components that interface closely with custom hardware while meeting requirements for safety, reliability, determinism, and testability
  • Collaborate with system, hardware, and architecture teams to translate product requirements into clear firmware designs and well-defined hardware interfaces
  • Partner with global engineering teams and architects to promote consistent design patterns and scalable architectural improvements across products
  • Participate in design and code reviews, sharing knowledge and upholding coding standards, best practices, and regulatory expectations
  • Contribute within a Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe), including PI planning, sprint execution, and continuous improvement initiatives
  • Mentor and support junior engineers, fostering a culture of learning, inclusion, and strong engineering fundamentals
  • Take ownership of your work by communicating progress transparently, identifying risks early, and reliably following through with team support
  • Bring curiosity and enthusiasm for AI-assisted development, exploring responsible ways to use AI tools to improve code quality, testing, documentation, and developer efficiency

Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree (or foreign degree equivalent) in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field
  • 8 years of experience designing, developing, and debugging embedded or firmware software
  • Strong proficiency in C++ and object-oriented programming, including hands-on, on-target troubleshooting
  • Experience delivering software across the full development life cycle, from requirements through verification

Preferred Qualifications
  • Master's degree or PhD in a related technical field
  • 3 years of experience with continuous integration and automated testing
  • 5 years of experience troubleshooting embedded systems using tools such as emulators, JTAG debuggers, logic analyzers, and protocol analyzers
  • 5 years of experience working with a real-time operating system (RTOS) such as VxWorks
  • Experience working in a Linux-based development environment, including containerized workflows
  • Strong interest in and passion for AI-enabled development tools, such as those used for code comprehension, testing, refactoring, reviews, or documentation, applied in alignment with security, privacy, and quality standards
  • Experience working in regulated environments requiring structured documentation of requirements, designs, testing, and results
  • Experience developing medical devices within a Quality Management System (QMS)

Our Commitment
We are committed to creating an inclusive workplace where individuals from all backgrounds and experiences can succeed. Career paths are not always linear, and we value diverse ways of thinking and learning. If this role excites you, we encourage you to apply and start a conversation with us.
