This is an opportunity to join a multidisciplinary team developing a greenfield medical device from the ground up. You’ll have a team of Senior Software Engineers around you who’ll mentor you throughout.

Due to the nature of Ensera Design’s work, you’ll have the opportunity to branch out into other specialisms or go deeper into the one you’re already in.

  • Python and/or C++ development experience

About you

You enjoy working on and improving complex safety-critical systems. You’ll have a good understanding of either Linux, MCU or test engineering and care about writing clean, reliable code. You’ll be a strong collaborator and communicator who’s happy to work closely with developers. You’ll also be interested in the full development lifecycle and in working to standards like IEC 62304.

Whilst you do not need to meet all of these points, please ensure you meet the majority within your specialism before making an application.

Essential

  • Around 3–5 years’ experience in embedded software development
  • Strong C and/or C++ skills
  • Solid understanding of hardware–software interfaces, embedded architectures, or test automation frameworks
  • Experience with system-level integration, debugging, or verification
