Staff Embedded Software Engineer (Hybrid - Acton, MA or San Diego, CA)
About The Position
Join a team building the core intelligence that powers one of the world’s most advanced automated insulin delivery systems. As a Staff Embedded (Firmware) Software Engineer, you will operate at the intersection of algorithms, embedded systems, real-time control, and safety-critical medical engineering that improves the lives of people with diabetes around the world. You will own the transformation of next-generation insulin-dosing algorithms into highly optimized C implementations that run on constrained embedded medical devices. You will lead a technical team influencing architecture, and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in closed-loop control, signal processing, and device intelligence. If you want to work on deeply technical, mission-driven, category-defining product, this is the role for you. What You’ll Lead & Build Implement next-generation insulin-dosing algorithms by converting high-level algorithmic models into efficient, safety-critical C code for embedded medical devices. Architect and build next-gen control and signal-processing software that drives real-time insulin delivery decisions. Lead complex integrations across software, systems, hardware, and algorithm teams to build tightly coupled embedded solutions. Drive the design, verification, and validation of embedded systems in a regulated, safety-critical environment. Shape technical direction across the embedded platform, influencing architecture , design patterns, and best practices. Mentor engineers, lead design reviews, and act as a subject-matter expert for algorithm implementation and embedded systems. Who You Are A senior engineer who thrives in ambiguity, solves problems from first principles, and thinks in systems. Someone who can take a high-level algorithm written in Python/MATLAB and transform it into robust, production-grade embedded software capable of making real clinical decisions. You understand the weight of building software for medical devices and the excitement of working on products that have never been built before.
