Firmware Engineer (m/f/d)

General Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and maintain firmware for microcontroller-based medical devices, ensuring compliance with safety and regulatory standards
• Work with RTOS-based systems, focusing on real-time performance, reliability, and efficient resource usage
• Collaborate with architects, test engineers, and system engineers to define interfaces, hardware abstraction layers, and low-level drivers
• Participate in code reviews, design reviews, and risk assessments to ensure high code quality and adherence to design constraints
• Apply unit testing, static code analysis, and other industry best practices for safety-critical software
• Support integration testing, debugging, and root cause analysis of issues arising in system-level testing (e.g., HIL/SIL)
• Develop and maintain technical documentation, including software design, implementation details, and traceability to requirements
• Contribute to continuous improvement of development processes, toolchains, and testing frameworks

Skills and Experience

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics, Computer Engineering, Embedded Systems, or a related field
• Some years of experience in embedded firmware development, preferably in medical or other regulated industries
• Experience in developing firmware for microcontrollers (e.g., STM32, NXP, Renesas) in a real-time environment
• Knowledge of regulatory and quality requirements for medical device development is an advantage
• Strong programming skills in C/C++, with experience in real-time embedded firmware development
• Familiarity with RTOS platforms (e.g., Keil FuSa RTX, FreeRTOS, Zephyr, or similar)
• Experience with low-level hardware interfaces (e.g., SPI, I2C, UART, ADC/DAC, PWM, GPIO)
• Knowledge of software development for safety-critical systems, preferably in compliance with IEC 62304, ISO 13485, and ISO 14971
• Experience with unit testing, static analysis tools (e.g., Polyspace, Vectorcast, Cppcheck, PC-lint, Coverity), and code coverage analysis
• Familiarity with version control (e.g., Git), issue tracking, and CI/CD pipelines for embedded projects
• Understanding of CAN protocols, digital I/O, and embedded debugging tools (e.g., oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG/SWD)
• Basic knowledge of hardware schematics and datasheets is a plus
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills
• Good communication skills and ability to work in cross-functional teams
• Proactive, detail-oriented, and committed to producing high-quality and maintainable code
• Comfortable working in a regulated environment with structured development processes
• Occasional travel may be required
