This role is designed for someone early in their career who has completed strong internships or co‑ops working on embedded firmware, robotics, or electromechanical systems and is excited to continue building real hardware‑driven products.

In this role, you will contribute to the development, testing, and integration of embedded firmware within our advanced surgical stapling platform. You will work closely with embedded, electrical, mechanical, and systems engineers, gaining hands‑on exposure to microcontroller‑based systems, hardware bring‑up, and real‑world debugging in a regulated medical device environment. This is a hands‑on engineering role focused on firmware that interacts directly with motors, sensors, and physical mechanisms.

Responsibilities

Contribute to the design, implementation, and testing of embedded firmware running on ARM Cortex‑M or equivalent microcontroller‑based systems using C and C++.

Assist with the development and integration of low‑level drivers and communication interfaces, including SPI, I²C, CAN, UART, and USB, along with application‑layer logic that controls and monitors electromechanical systems.

Work closely with electrical and mechanical engineers to support hardware bring‑up, debugging, and system integration, ensuring firmware interacts correctly with motors, sensors, and other physical components.

Participate in code reviews and design discussions, learning best practices for modular, maintainable firmware design.

Contribute to improving firmware quality, reliability, and traceability over time.

Support verification and validation activities through bench testing and system‑level testing.

Assist with documenting software requirements, design decisions, and test results in alignment with FDA and IEC 62304 expectations.

Qualifications

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Robotics, or a related discipline.

1+ years of relevant experience, including internships or co‑ops with significant hands‑on embedded or hardware‑focused work.

Experience writing and debugging embedded C or C++ code.

Comfort working with microcontrollers, hardware‑level debugging tools, and lab equipment.

Exposure to real‑time or bare‑metal embedded systems.

Familiarity with communication protocols such as SPI, I²C, UART, or CAN.

Hands‑on experience with robotics, motor control, sensors, or electromechanical systems through internships, academic projects, or personal projects.
