Actalent, Lebanon, TN, United States
Senior Embedded Software Engineer – Must be a citizen to be eligible
This on‑site role offers the opportunity to design and deliver safety‑critical embedded firmware for connected medical devices that significantly improve patient mobility and quality of life. The engineer will architect and implement C/C++ firmware on RTOS‑based microcontrollers, develop secure wireless connectivity and robust communication interfaces, and lead motor‑control integrations that balance performance, responsiveness, and patient safety. Working closely with cross‑functional teams (Product Management, Mechanical, Electrical, Quality/Regulatory, and Manufacturing), the engineer will translate clear requirements into verifiable designs, ensure end‑to‑end traceability, support verification, validation, regulatory submissions, and transfer to production while continuously enhancing code quality, tooling, and CI workflows.
Role Summary
Design and maintain safety‑critical embedded firmware on microcontroller‑based medical devices.
Develop RTOS‑based C/C++ firmware, implement motor control, and integrate communication technologies such as Bluetooth/BLE, Wi‑Fi, CAN, SPI, and I²C.
