Head of Product Engineering - R&D

Own the Product, Hands-On: Set and drive the technical roadmap for the device. Make the architecture and build-versus-buy decisions, translate clinical and market needs into requirements, and stay personally in the code — you lead by building, not just by directing. You are the person who knows how the whole product fits together and is accountable for it.

Develop and Optimize the Firmware: Design, write, and optimize embedded C firmware on STM32 (Arm Cortex-M) under a real-time operating system (ThreadX / Azure RTOS), within a regulated IEC 62304 software lifecycle. This spans camera and sensor integration, peripheral drivers, secure connectivity, edge AI, and system integration — under real-time, memory, and power constraints. Development is focused on STM ecosystem such as STM32N6 and STM´s development ecosystem.

Prototyping, Bring-Up and Verification: Drive the device from concept to production — board bring-up, integrating microcontrollers, sensors (camera, time-of-flight, proximity) and actuators, and supporting hardware/software integration in the lab. Own rigorous testing to validate functionality, reliability, and safety, with unit and integration testing (e.g. Ceedling/Unity) and CI.

Lead Partner and Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration: Be our senior technical voice to external PCBA/manufacturing and product-development partners — driving hardware design, design-for-manufacture, and bring-up — and work across the team with software developers, mechanical engineers, regulatory, and healthcare professionals to keep the whole product coherent.

Quality and Compliance: Make sure the product is designed and documented to meet medical-device standards (IEC 62304, ISO 13485, MDR/FDA) and security best practice, with the traceability our regulated environment demands.

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Computer Science, or a related field. Experience has higher leverage than degrees.

Embedded Depth: Deep, demonstrable expertise in embedded C on Arm Cortex-M (STM32 or equivalent) — RTOS, interrupts, DMA, low-power design — plus the hardware fluency to read schematics and datasheets and debug at the hardware/firmware boundary with scope and logic analyzer.

Product Ownership: A proven track record of owning a product or major subsystem end-to-end — making the technical calls, setting direction, and shipping. You can hold the roadmap and the code at the same time.

Sensors and Connectivity: Experience integrating sensors and peripherals over I²C, SPI, and UART, and implementing secure wireless connectivity (WiFi/BLE) and device-to-cloud communication.

Tooling: Proficient in Python for scripting, test automation, and data analysis. Familiarity with the AWS platform (e.g. AWS IoT Core, Lambda, S3) is a plus. Experience with Git (GitLab/GitHub) for collaboration, code management, and documentation.

Experience and Maturity: Senior-level hands-on embedded systems experience, preferably in healthcare, medtech, or a related industry. Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities and a creative approach to technical challenges. Excellent communication and teamwork skills, with a proven record of working effectively across interdisciplinary teams and with external partners. We'll review all applications.

Bonus Qualifications: Experience deploying ML inference on microcontrollers or edge NPUs. Hands-on experience taking a regulated medical device through MDR/FDA. High-volume manufacturing experience. Comfort with Agile and test-driven development.
