  • Ensuring the software meets high standards of quality and performance.
  • Effectively utilizing source control systems
• Low Power electronics design for new and existing products including:
  • Microcontrollers (ARM Cortex, TI MSP430 and others as needed).
  • Digital circuits (FLASH storage devices, SPI, I2C, USB interfaces).
  • Analogue circuits (Battery management, power supplies, low noise physiologic sensors)
• Work within the hardware team to implement Product Development Plans and identify Product Requirements.
• Investigating issues reported from the field and reporting on findings
• Generate and maintain design documentation including architecture diagrams, written specifications, schematics, and test protocols.
• Collaborate effectively with the cross-functional hardware team, such as mechanical and verification engineers, to ensure successful integration of your deliverables.
• Support functional and project managers in planning activities, tracking progress, and reporting on project milestones.
• Collaborate with application software engineers on the interface between hardware devices and software
• Participate in safety and cybersecurity risk management activities as appropriate to your work
