Embedded Software Engineer

Lead Embedded Software Engineer (Real-Time Systems / C++) Job Descriptio n We are seeking a Lead Embedded Software Engineer to support the development of next-generation robotic and optical tracking technologies used within an advanced surgical platform. This individual will be responsible for developing, maintaining, and improving complex embedded software systems responsible for real-time hardware control, camera integration, device tracking, and system performanc e. This is a highly technical, hands-on software engineering role focused on embedded Linux development, real-time software architecture, hardware interfacing, and complex multi-threaded systems. The ideal candidate will have deep C++ expertise and experience developing software that interacts directly with hardware in environments where precision, timing, and reliability are critic al. Despite the title, this is not a people-management role. The "Lead" designation reflects technical ownership and problem-solving responsibility rather than direct supervisory responsibilities. The team is seeking someone who wants to tackle difficult technical challenges and help drive a complex product platform to the next le vel. Medical device experience is not required. Candidates from robotics, aerospace, automotive, industrial automation, computer vision, imaging systems, or other hardware-centric software environments are strongly encouraged to a pply.
