About this role

## Meet the team You will join a highly technical embedded systems and hardware engineering team responsible for building reliable, secure, and ultra-low-power platforms that power next-generation connected wearable devices. The team operates across silicon, real-time embedded systems, algorithms, and connectivity stacks, translating complex system requirements into robust real-world solutions. This role plays a key part in shaping device-level behavior, performance, and power efficiency throughout the full product lifecycle. ## Where you come in - Evaluate CGM system performance using prototype firmware, mobile application features, and experimental system configurations to characterize overall system behavior and performance. - Perform BLE communication analysis using protocol sniffers, device logs, and diagnostic tools to identify issues and characterize wireless communication performance. - Conduct power-impact analysis using Keysight power analyzers and related instrumentation to assess feature-level and system-level energy consumption. - Investigate system anomalies, prototype feature issues, and production firmware or application defects, driving structured root-cause analysis and corrective actions. - Develop and maintain automated test frameworks, fixture scripts, and engineering tools across Windows, macOS, and Linux environments to improve testing efficiency and repeatability. - Create comprehensive test plans, detailed test procedures, and technical reports while presenting findings to engineering teams and leadership stakeholders. - Develop prototype firmware features in C/C++, participate in code reviews, and contribute to architecture discussions supporting future CGM capabilities. - Collaborate with systems, firmware, mobile application, quality, and external partner teams to define requirements, support verification activities, and evaluate interoperability across connected devices and applications. ## What makes you successful - Strong experience in embedded systems, firmware development, system validation, or prototype evaluation. - Proficiency in C/C++ software development with experience debugging and developing embedded firmware applications. - Experience analyzing Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) communications using protocol sniffers, logs, and wireless diagnostic tools. - Strong troubleshooting and root-cause analysis skills with the ability to investigate complex system-level issues spanning firmware, applications, and communications layers. - Experience developing automated test tools, scripts, and frameworks using modern software engineering practices. - Hands-on experience with laboratory instrumentation, power measurement equipment, and system characterization tools. - Experience writing test plans, verification procedures, requirements documentation, and technical presentations for diverse audiences. - Ability to work effectively across cross-functional teams and independently drive technical investigations from problem identification through resolution. ## What you’ll get - A front row seat to life changing CGM technology. - A full and comprehensive benefits program. - Growth opportunities on a global scale. - Access to career development through in-house learning programs and/or qualified tuition reimbursement. - An exciting and innovative, industry-leading organization committed to employees, customers, and the communities it serves.Travel required: 5-15%. ## Experience and education requirements Typically requires a Bachelor’s degree in a technical discipline, and a minimum of 0-2 years related experience.
