Principal Embedded Software Engineer

Lexington Medical, Inc. is a medical device company developing and manufacturing minimally invasive surgical stapling solutions in the Boston area.

With the highest standards in design engineering and smart manufacturing, our team delivers disruptive technology to healthcare providers, improving surgical outcomes for patients in a thriving $6B+ surgical stapler market.

Rooted in a talent-dense culture, we are committed to innovation, foster continuous growth, and achieve great heights together.

At Lexington Medical, Inc., you will have the opportunity to impact the lives of millions of patients worldwide and thrive in a fast-growing MedTech company.

We are hiring a Principal Embedded Software Engineer to join our R&D team at Lexington Medical, Inc. in Bedford, MA (near Boston). This is a hands-on role: you will be building the embedded software for our surgical stapling platform yourself, writing code, integrating drivers, and debugging at the hardware level, while also owning the technical architecture and setting the long-term direction for embedded systems across the platform. The embedded software operates under tight real-time, safety-critical constraints, directly driving electromechanical subsystems where milliseconds and failure modes matter, and you will be in the lab working through hardware-software integration issues alongside electrical and mechanical engineers, not just reviewing designs from a distance.

This position is ideal for a principal-level engineer who wants to stay personally hands-on building a complex electromechanical system while also shaping architecture, technical roadmaps, and engineering culture, someone who leads by building, not just by directing.

• Personally design, build, and integrate real-time embedded software for Lexington's surgical stapling platform and supporting devices, primarily on ARM Cortex-M or equivalent microcontroller-based systems, hands-on ownership of code, not just architecture review.
