Your role
We are looking for people who can design and develop embedded software to the highest possible standard. You will be part of a team developing things that will improve, or even save, someone’s life.
Each project is different, and you will get involved at all stages of the development lifecycle.
We can’t talk about everything we do, but here are some of our past projects we get excited about:
- An emergency-use ventilator, developed in just over six weeks in response to the government’s Ventilator Challenge
- A neurostimulation device allowing treatment to improve, or even restore, someone’s ability to walk
- An autoinjector capable of delivering a wide range of drugs, while being intuitive to use and beautiful to look at
What you'll be doing
In this role you will be specifying, designing, developing and testing embedded software for complex medical systems used for a wide variety of diagnostic, surgical, implantable device, and drug delivery applications. Beyond embedded software, there is a broad range of projects requiring skills across the full software development lifecycle.
You will be part of a multidisciplinary and supportive team as many of the systems you will be working on will include electronics, optics, fluidics, robotics, and user-interface components, thus requiring an all-round engineering knowledge, attention to detail and good team-work skills.
We work using industry best practices including continuous integration, automated testing and analysis, and model based systems engineering.
What you can bring
Our successful candidate will have the desire to understand exactly how a piece of software works!
We also feel the below is essential to the role:
- A degree in Software Engineering or Computer Science, or equivalent experience
- Knowledge of C and/or C++
The following skills and experiences are advantageous, but not essential:
- Experience developing software in a regulated environment, such as medical or aerospace
- Experience developing embedded software on bare-metal and/or with an RTOS or embedded Linux
- Software verification and testing experience
- Experience with python
- Knowledge of electronics and physical interactions with software
- Signal processing, data science or AI knowledge
We need someone who, when faced with something that behaves differently to what they expect, will investigate why that behaviour occurred until they understand it. Even better, when faced with something that worked and they didn't expect it to work, will still investigate why.
