It's Time to Join Stryker!
We are seeking a Staff Embedded Software & Controls Engineer to design and develop embedded software, firmware, and control systems for complex electromechanical medical devices. In this role, you will work across hardware, firmware, and system integration to develop real-time embedded software and control algorithms across sensors, actuators, motors, thermal systems, power electronics, fluid management systems, and multi-board embedded platforms.
You will partner with cross-functional product development teams to deliver safe, reliable, and high-performance solutions while solving complex system-level challenges throughout the product lifecycle, from concept development through product launch and post-market improvements.
This role will support the Urology portfolio, including legacy products and recently launched technologies that integrate capital equipment, visualization platforms, and fluid management solutions.
Experience in medical device development is highly valued; however, we also welcome candidates with strong embedded software and controls experience from other regulated or safety-critical industries such as aerospace, automotive, robotics, industrial automation, defense, or similar environments. Candidates with experience developing complex electromechanical products within structured engineering processes are encouraged to apply.
What You Will Do
- Design and develop embedded software using C/C++, bare-metal, and/or RTOS-based platforms.
- Develop and optimize real-time embedded control algorithms for pressure regulation, temperature control, motor control, sensing, fluid management, and other electromechanical subsystems.
- Develop firmware supporting sensors, actuators, motors, thermal systems, power electronics, and multi-board embedded architectures.
- Support embedded software architecture and integration across hardware, firmware, and system interfaces.
- Collaborate closely with Electrical, Mechanical, Systems, Quality, Manufacturing, and Regulatory partners.
- Develop scalable embedded software architectures supporting current and future generations of platform technologies.
- Investigate and resolve complex hardware, firmware, and system-level issues through structured debugging and root cause analysis.
- Evaluate engineering tradeoffs across software performance, reliability, manufacturability, safety, maintainability, and cost.
- Support verification and validation activities, including unit testing, integration testing, and system-level testing.
- Participate in software architecture reviews, technical design reviews, peer code reviews, and multidisciplinary design reviews.
- Translate user, clinical, and system requirements into embedded software and control system solutions.
- Create and maintain software architecture documentation, requirements, design documentation, verification protocols, and related technical deliverables.
- Provide technical input on embedded software design, debugging methodologies, development tools, and engineering best practices.
- Contribute to future platform direction by evaluating embedded technologies, software architectures, development tools, and engineering practices.
What You Need
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related engineering discipline is required
- 4+ years of experience designing and developing embedded software for complex electromechanical products is required
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience designing and developing embedded software for complex electromechanical products in regulated or safety-critical industries.
- Experience developing embedded software using C/C++ on bare-metal and/or RTOS-based embedded platforms.
- Experience designing and implementing embedded control systems, including feedback control, state machines, control loop tuning, or similar real-time control algorithms.
- Strong understanding of embedded control systems, including PID control, state machines, control loop tuning, and real-time embedded software.
- Experience with pressure control, motor control, thermal regulation, sensor integration, fluid management, or other electromechanical control systems.
- Demonstrated experience debugging complex hardware, firmware, and system-level interactions.
- Experience working within structured product development processes, including requirements management, design reviews, verification, validation, and risk management.
- Experience developing products within regulated or safety-critical industries such as medical device, aerospace, automotive, robotics, industrial automation, defense, or similar environments.
- $112,900 - $188,100 USD Annual
