Senior Embedded IOT Engineer - Linux

Midmark Corporation•Versailles, OH

3d•Hybrid

About The Position

This role focuses on the development of embedded Linux platforms that enable IoT connectivity in complex medical devices. The engineer will work across the full device – from low-level system software (kernel, BSP, U-Boot, device tree) to connectivity features such as telemetry, OTA updates, and network communication. The engineer will lead firmware architecture decisions, mentor junior engineers, and drive system-level design across firmware and connectivity layers. This hybrid role is expected to be on-site in the Versailles or Cincinnati, Ohio location 4 days a week and one day remote.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in computer engineering or related field and 6+ years of relevant experience, or equivalent combination of both.
Proficiency C++ for embedded Linux systems. Python for automation and testing
Experience implementing and debugging embedded networking stacks (MQTT, Ethernet, Wi-Fi at system level)
In-depth knowledge of Embedded Linux including kernel, BSP and U-Boot
Strong experience with CAN-based communication systems
Experience building connected/IoT devices from the embedded side (firmware, connectivity, OTA, telemetry)
Demonstrated experience mentoring engineers and elevating team capability
Experience designing firmware architecture for complex systems
Ability to integrate firmware with broader system architecture
Ability to lead design of complex, interconnected systems and shape the organization's technical direction
Ability to effectively communicate technical strategies and decisions to executives
Ability to establish and enforce quality standards that align with industry best practices and regulatory requirements
Ability to lead process improvement efforts and establish standardized processes
