Summary: The Embedded Linux Software Engineer role involves working within multidisciplinary teams to develop and productize custom computing and medical devices for hospital operating rooms. The position requires collaboration with hardware teams to maintain compatible kernels and drivers, as well as architecting, developing, and debugging system services. The engineer will also contribute to security compliance processes and develop robust software for medical-grade systems. This is a hybrid role requiring three days per week onsite in London.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Support the development and productization of custom computing and medical devices.
  • Collaborate with hardware teams to build and maintain compatible kernels/drivers.
  • Architect, develop, test, and debug system services and hardware-dependent software applications.
  • Coordinate and conduct code reviews for embedded software.
  • Contribute to software infrastructure for seamless software deployments.
  • Participate in security and regulatory compliance processes.
  • Develop secure-by-design software for medical-grade systems.
  • Perform formal risk analysis and develop software mitigations.
  • Run verification tests and participate in design transfer to manufacturing activities.

Key Skills:

  • BS/MS in Computer, Electrical, Electronics Engineering or equivalent.
  • Extensive experience with Linux device drivers (V4L2/I2C/SPI/UART).
  • Experience with Linux system components such as kernels and services.
  • Excellent networking knowledge.
  • Expertise in C/C++ and shell scripting.
  • Experience with custom Linux build systems (Yocto/Buildroot).
  • Experience in system bring-up and hardware integration.
  • Knowledge of over-the-air update mechanisms for embedded systems.
