Key skills for this role
Neupulse is at a turning point.
Our wearable neurostimulation device is launching commercially.
At the heart of that device is firmware. We're looking for a Senior Embedded Firmware Engineer to own it.
The role
Today, our device development is largely handled by an external partner. You'll be our internal technical authority for it — working hand in hand with that partner to keep firmware reliable and compliant now, while building the pathway to bring that capability in-house over time.
It's hands-on, safety-critical work on a device people wear every day: C/C++ on STM32, FreeRTOS on ARM Cortex-M, low-power and battery-operated, talking to iOS and Android over BLE.
You'll:
Own the firmware relationship with our external development partner — direction, reviews, quality, and the verification and release evidence that stands up to regulatory scrutiny
Build the pathway to bring firmware capability in-house — deciding what to internalise and when, and growing the team to do it
Stay hands-on and set the standard: production-quality firmware, reusable frameworks, coding practices and reviews across current and future products
Own security — threat assessment, vulnerability management, and secure device updates
Work shoulder to shoulder with hardware, software, quality and regulatory, keeping everything traceable and compliant with ISO 13485 and IEC 62304
5+ years delivering embedded firmware through the full product lifecycle, with a track record of robust releases and clean documentation
Strong experience with FreeRTOS on ARM Cortex-M in safety-critical settings
Real depth in low-power, battery-operated devices that communicate with mobile over BLE
