Job description

Staff / Principal Embedded Firmware Engineer

About SleepRes

SleepRes is developing next-generation sleep apnea therapy technologies that improve patient outcomes. We are a small, fast-moving R&D team focused on building high-quality medical devices that make a real-world impact.

Position Overview

We are seeking a Staff / Principal Firmware Engineer to lead the design and development of embedded software for our medical devices. This is a high-impact technical leadership role where you will own firmware architecture and execution while contributing directly to product development from concept through commercialization.

You will work closely with cross-functional teams (product, electrical, mechanical, and quality) to translate product requirements into robust, scalable embedded solutions. In addition to hands-on development, you will help define engineering standards, guide architectural decisions, and mentor other engineers.

Our current stack is based on STM32 microcontroller devices, using Micrium C/OS III and SEGGER emWin.

What You'll Do

  • Lead firmware design, development, and verification for SleepRes products
  • Architect scalable embedded systems and guide technical direction
  • Translate user and system requirements into reliable firmware solutions
  • Contribute to embedded GUI development and user experience implementation
  • Participate in code reviews, design reviews, and risk management activities
  • Support technical documentation (requirements, design, and test artifacts)
  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional engineering teams
  • Mentor engineers and help elevate team technical capability (Staff/Principal level)

What We're Looking For

  • BS in EE, CS, Biomedical Engineering, or related field (MS preferred)
  • 7+ years (Staff) or 10+ years (Principal) of embedded firmware development experience
  • Strong proficiency in C/C++ and ARM-based embedded systems
  • Experience developing commercial firmware products
  • Hands-on experience with embedded GUI development (e.g., emWin or similar)
  • Experience with connected devices (cellular, Wi-Fi, BLE)
  • Familiarity with embedded cybersecurity (secure boot, encryption, OTA updates)
  • Strong systems thinking, debugging ability, and attention to detail
  • Comfortable working in cross-functional, fast-paced environments

Nice to Have

  • Medical device experience (Class II)
  • Experience with FDA submissions (e.g., 510(k)) and DHF documentation
  • Signal processing or sensor-driven systems experience
  • Exposure to manufacturing, test, and bring-up processes, including working with contract manufacturers
  • Startup or early-stage product development experience

Compensation

  • Staff: $170K $200K
  • Principal: $200K $225K
