Staff Software Engineer (C++)

Position Summary

As a Staff Software Engineer, you will play a key role in developing high-performance embedded control software that powers automated laboratory instruments. This role combines hands-on technical development with leadership responsibilities, including mentoring junior engineers, driving best practices, and leading modernization efforts such as implementing continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) and advanced testing frameworks.

If you’re passionate about creating high-quality software that directly impacts human health, this position offers an exceptional opportunity to blend technical innovation with real-world application.

• Education & Experience:
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Computer Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
  • 5+ years of experience developing embedded software for complex instruments or devices.
• Technical Expertise:
  • Strong proficiency in modern C++ for embedded systems, including object-oriented design, multithreading, and memory management in constrained environments.
  • Hands-on experience with embedded Linux (e.g., Yocto) or real-time operating systems (RTOS) such as QNX.
  • Deep understanding of low-level OS concepts, device drivers, and performance optimization for single-board computers.
  • Proven ability to design for high reliability and uptime, including fail-safe mechanisms and state machine-driven control logic.
• Testing & CI/CD for Embedded Systems:
  • Experience with automated testing frameworks, unit/integration testing, and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing.
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps tools for embedded development.
• Soft Skills:
  • Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.
  • Ability to convey complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
  • Proven leadership in mentoring and guiding engineering teams.
