Senior Embedded Software Engineer – Algorithm & Signal Processing

Job Title Senior Embedded Software Engineer – Algorithm & Signal Processing Job Description Embedded Software & DSP Engineer Responsible for designing, developing, and optimizing embedded software and signal processing algorithms for critical and regulated systems. Your role: Design, implement, and optimize embedded software and firmware in C/C++ for resource-constrained microcontrollers and processors. Develop and integrate advanced signal processing algorithms, including digital filters (FIR, IIR, adaptive filters), FFT-based processing, noise reduction, and real-time data analysis. Translate mathematical models and DSP concepts into efficient, production-ready embedded code with a focus on deterministic performance, low latency, and minimal resource usage. Perform debugging, performance profiling, and optimization of embedded code on target hardware using tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and JTAG debuggers. Collaborate with cross-functional teams (hardware engineers, systems architects, clinical specialists) to define software requirements and ensure seamless hardware–software integration. Participate in full software development lifecycle activities, including requirements analysis, design, implementation, unit and integration testing, code reviews, and documentation. Ensure compliance with applicable standards and processes, especially IEC 62304, ISO 14971, and FDA guidelines, as required. Contribute to risk management, verification and validation (V&V) activities, and configuration management in regulated environments. Support prototyping, feasibility studies, and continuous improvement of existing products. You're the right fit if: • 5–8+ years of professional experience in embedded systems development using C/C++, including algorithm implementation and RTOS usage. • Strong knowledge of microcontrollers (ARM Cortex‑M), DSP (FIR/IIR, FFT, spectral analysis), performance optimization, hardware debugging, and embedded development tools. • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Computer Science, or related fields (Master’s degree is a plus). • Previous experience in regulated environments (IEC 62304, ISO 14971, FDA), familiarity with MATLAB/Python for prototyping, and a collaborative mindset focused on quality and safety.
