Lead Electrical & Embedded Systems Engineer

Quick Facts

• Role: Lead Electrical & Embedded Systems Engineer (medical wearable)

• Focus: Embedded systems, electronics, firmware, sensor data, wireless/cloud integration

Description

You will provide technical leadership and take ownership of embedded-system and electronics projects for a medical wearable, from concept through verified and manufacturable solutions. The role combines hands-on circuit design and prototyping with embedded firmware development in C, Python-based sensor data analysis, and integration across sensors, electronics, firmware, wireless communication, and cloud-connected systems. You’ll also define requirements and interfaces, make well-founded technical decisions, and coordinate engineers, students, and external partners.

Responsibilities

• Develop system architectures and translate product requirements into technical solutions

• Design, prototype, test, and improve analog and digital electronic circuits

• Develop and maintain embedded firmware, primarily in C

• Analyse sensor data and develop engineering tools in Python

• Integrate sensors, electronics, firmware, wireless communication, and cloud-connected systems

• Perform measurements, debugging, root-cause analysis, and technical troubleshooting

• Define requirements, interfaces, test procedures, and technical development priorities

• Support PCB development, hardware bring-up, component selection, production, and design transfer

• Lead technical work packages and coordinate junior engineers, students, and external partners

• Collaborate with mechanical, software, clinical, and quality-management teams

• Take responsibility for projects from initial concept to a verified and manufacturable solution
