The Opportunity: The Principal Embedded Software Engineer will lead the firmware design, implementationand test aspects of New Product Development programs (NPD) and Sustaining productsthroughout their entire lifecycle. The chosen candidate will own the software architectureand design execution, along with processes, tools, and metrics used for new productdevelopment and on-going sustaining programs.

Key Responsibilities: Translate high-level concepts into robust, maintainable firmware architectures. Capture and document requirements and rationale for regulated products to ensuretraceability and compliance. Collaborate with hardware engineers to define and implement hardware/firmwareintegration strategies and diagnostic coverage. Work with Product Owners and stakeholders using Agile practices to maintainalignment and transparency throughout the development lifecycle. Adhere to and champion development processes, lead technical reviews, andimplement source code that meets product requirements and complies with codingstandards. Ensure all code is well-documented, rigorously tested, and version-controlled. Perform unit testing using tools such as IDEs, debuggers, emulators, communication analyzers, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers. Provide work breakdown plans and task estimates to support project planning andtracking. Contribute to product roadmap planning, identify competency and resource gaps, and implement plans to close the gaps. Develop metrics to track progress and identify areas for improvement. Support multiple product development programs simultaneously. Develop and implement risk mitigation strategies throughout the firmwaredevelopment lifecycle.
