Manager - Embedded Systems

Key Responsibilities

1. Engineering Leadership

• Lead and manage embedded systems development and testing teams responsible for medical device products.Define engineering strategies, development processes, technical direction, and execution plans.
• Provide technical leadership across embedded software, firmware, system integration, and verification.Drive execution of multiple concurrent projects while balancing

.

• Establish clear ownership, accountability, and engineering metrics across the team.Partner with Product Management, Systems Engineering, Quality, Regulatory, Manufacturing, Clinical, and other cross-functional teams.

1. Embedded Systems Development

• Lead development of embedded software/firmware for medical devices and connected systems.Guide architecture and design decisions involving:Embedded C/C++RTOSMicrocontrollers and SoCsDevice driversCommunication protocolsUSB/BLE/Wi-Fi/EthernetSensor interfacesMotor/control systemsPower managementBootloaders and firmware update mechanisms
• Ensure robust hardware/software integration and system-level performance.Drive reuse of software platforms, common architectures, libraries, and development frameworks across products.

1. Verification & Validation

• Lead development and execution of

strategies.Establish robust verification methodologies for embedded software and complete medical-device systems.

• Drive automated testing, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), simulation, test automation, and continuous integration where appropriate.Ensure traceability between:

• Review and approve verification strategies, test plans, test cases, and test results.Drive root-cause analysis and resolution of complex technical issues discovered during development and testing.

1. Quality & Regulatory Compliance

• Ensure engineering activities comply with applicable medical-device development processes and organizational quality systems.Work closely with Quality and Regulatory teams to ensure compliance with applicable standards and regulations, such as:

, where applicableCybersecurity requirements applicable to medical devicesApplicable FDA and international regulatory requirements

• Ensure appropriate documentation, design controls, risk management, change control, and verification evidence throughout the product lifecycle.Participate in design reviews, risk reviews, audits, and regulatory submissions as required.

1. Test Automation & Engineering Excellence

• Establish a modern automated testing strategy for embedded products.Increase automated test coverage and reduce dependence on manual testing.
• Promote:CI/CD for embedded systemsAutomated regression testingHardware-in-the-loop testingStatic and dynamic analysis Code coverage Unit testing Integration testing System-level testing. Establish engineering metrics to monitor product quality, test effectiveness, defect escape rates, and development efficiency.

1. Technical Problem Solving

• Act as an escalation point for complex embedded-system issues.Lead cross-functional investigation of difficult hardware/software/system failures.
• Drive structured root-cause analysis using methodologies such as

.Ensure corrective and preventive actions are implemented effectively.Provide technical guidance during field issues, customer escalations, and product investigations.

1. People & Talent Leadership

• Build, mentor, and retain a strong embedded engineering organization.Define team structure, roles, responsibilities, and technical career paths.Conduct performance management, coaching, and regular career development discussions.
• Identify technical skill gaps and establish training and development plans.Recruit high-quality embedded software, firmware, systems, and test engineers.Develop future technical leaders and engineering managers.

1. Project & Program Execution

• Work with program/project managers to develop realistic technical schedules and resource plans.Identify technical risks early and establish mitigation plans.
• Track milestones, dependencies, defects, technical debt, and engineering deliverables.Communicate project status, risks, and opportunities to senior leadership.Support product launches and sustaining engineering activities.
