Technical Lead - Software Development Engineer (...

Job DescriptionPrimary Function of PositionWe are seeking a technical lead to drive the architectural vision and execution for our core software products. This is a critical, hands-on leadership role for an individual who has a strong background in embedded systems and excels at communicating complex technical concepts to a diverse range of stakeholders. The ideal candidate will be responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining software that runs on our next-generation medical devices, with a specific focus on Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS) and Linux-based platforms. This role requires a deep understanding of low-level software, hardware-software integration, and the ability to work within a highly regulated development environment. This is important as issues can change rapidly during the fast-paced early stages of product development.Key ResponsibilitiesArchitectural Ownership & Vision:Design, document, and lead the implementation of end-to-end system architecture for new and existing applications, focusing on scalability, security, and performance.Establish and enforce best practices for software design, coding standards, and deployment processes across the engineering team.Evaluate and recommend new technologies, tools, and frameworks by performing proof-of-concepts (PoCs) and analysis to keep our technology stack modern and munication & Interpersonal Skills:Exceptional communication and presentation skills, with a demonstrated ability to influence and build consensus among stakeholders with varying levels of technical expertise.Proven ability to translate abstract business needs into concrete technical solutions and system diagrams.Strong negotiation skills and the ability to manage differing opinions to arrive at the best technical outcome for the business.A collaborative and approachable demeanor, dedicated to mentoring and elevating the skills of the entire team.Embedded Software Development:Design, develop, and maintain embedded software in C/C++ for real-time and safety-critical applications on medical devices.Work with and contribute to software running on Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS) like [e.g., ThreadX, SafeRTOS, QNX] and embedded Linux distributions like [e.g., Yocto, Buildroot].Develop and implement device drivers, board support packages (BSPs), and other low-level firmware to interface with custom hardware.Optimize software for performance, memory usage, and power consumption on resource-constrained embedded platforms.Documentation & Compliance:Generate and maintain clear, well-structured technical documentation, including software requirements specifications, design documents, and test reports.Adhere to software development lifecycle processes and documentation standards required for medical device regulation (e.g., IEC 62304).Participate in risk analysis and contribute to the software risk management file (per ISO 14971) to identify and mitigate software-related hazards.Utilize version control systems (e.g., Git) and bug tracking tools (e.g., Jira) as part of an agile or waterfall development process. #J-18808-Ljbffr
