Position Overview
Join a team building the core intelligence that powers one of the world’s most advanced automated insulin delivery systems. As a Staff Embedded (Firmware) Software Engineer, you will operate at the intersection of algorithms, embedded systems, real-time control, and safety-critical medical engineering—directly shaping life-altering technology used by millions of people with diabetes.
This is not a maintenance role. You will own the transformation of next-generation insulin-dosing algorithms into highly optimized C implementations that run on constrained embedded medical devices. You’ll be a technical leader influencing architecture, guiding the team, and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in closed-loop control, signal processing, and device intelligence.
If you want to work on deeply technical, mission-driven, category-defining products—this is the role.
What You’ll Lead & Build
Who You Are
A senior engineer who thrives in ambiguity, solves problems from first principles, and thinks in systems—not silos. Someone who can take a high-level algorithm written in Python/MATLAB and transform it into robust, production-grade embedded software capable of making real clinical decisions.
You understand the weight of building software for medical devices—and the excitement of working on products that have never been built before.
