Requirements

Must:
- Solid experience in C programming for embedded systems, with at least 5+ years in a regulated industry such as aerospace, automotive, medical, or defense. - Familiarity with IEC 62304 and 60601 regulations; experience in medical devices is a plus, but training will be provided if you come from other regulated industries. - Experience with debugging and improving legacy code on memory-constrained microcontrollers, preferably in RTOS or bare-metal environments. - Ability to understand and work with existing code without needing to rewrite everything unnecessarily. - A passion for solving real-world problems over focusing solely on architectural purity, particularly in safety-critical firmware.

There’s no need for a cover letter—just let us know what embedded systems youve worked on and what regulatory standards youve encountered.
