About the role

Staff Software Engineer at CoMind leading embedded and real-time C++ development within a regulated medical device environment, owning complex technical problems, and guiding architecture and quality across hardware-software interfaces.

Responsibilities

  • Design, implement, and maintain high-performance embedded and real-time software components in C++, including hardware abstraction layers, device drivers, and data acquisition pipelines.
  • Define and drive technical strategy, proactively identifying and mitigating cross-team dependencies and technical debt while setting the long-term vision for embedded architecture.
  • Act as a technical bridge, synthesising and communicating complex architectural decisions to non-technical stakeholders (including Product, Clinical, and Regulatory teams) to ensure alignment on project goals.
  • Mentor and grow engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence, code quality, and professional development within the broader software team.
  • Ensure software quality through code review, unit and integration testing, and strict adherence to CoMind’s software development lifecycle under IEC 62304.
  • Collaborate with electronics and FPGA teams on hardware-software interfaces, supporting hardware bring-up, system integration, and complex debug.
  • Contribute to risk management and design documentation activities, including software hazard analysis and traceability in line with ISO 14971 and CoMind’s QMS.
  • Participate in design reviews, sprint planning, and cross-functional technical forums, contributing to a high-performance engineering culture.
  • AI is fundamental to our culture — embrace AI in daily work and continuously find new ways to use it effectively.

Qualifications

  • 10+ years of experience in software engineering, with a strong focus on systems-level software architecture.
  • Deep expertise in modern C++ (C++17 or later), including memory management, concurrency, real-time constraints, and performance optimisation.
  • Hands-on experience developing software for embedded Linux environments, including device driver development and hardware abstraction.
  • Experience in a regulated industry (medical devices, aerospace, automotive, or similar) including familiarity with IEC 62304 or equivalent software development standards.
  • Strong understanding of hardware-software integration, including FPGA or microcontroller interfaces, communication buses (SPI, I2C, UART, PCIe), and real-time operating systems.
  • Demonstrated ability to write clean, well-tested, and maintainable code in a safety-critical context.
