👩💻 Your Impact

As Embedded Software Engineer, you'll design and build the software that runs inside ViCentra's medical devices, taking it from first concept all the way to manufacture. Working in our R&D software team, you'll shape the architecture, write and review embedded C for resource-constrained microcontrollers, and make sure every release is safe, effective and built around the real needs of people living with diabetes.

This is where engineering craft meets real-world responsibility. Software on a medical device leaves no room for shortcuts, so you'll balance tight hardware constraints, cybersecurity and rigorous regulatory standards while keeping projects moving. As a senior voice in the team, you'll also raise the bar for others, mentoring engineers and helping build a best in class software development environment.

🔧 What You’ll Take On

In your role, you will:

• Lead and contribute to software projects from concept through to production, delivering on time and on budget.

• Design, implement and review embedded C code for resource-constrained microcontrollers, aligned to the intended design specification.

• Shape software architecture and design decisions, identifying and managing technical risks within your area of responsibility.

• Prototype, test and report throughout the product development life cycle, including unit and integration testing.

• Write the requirements, specifications, test plans, protocols, procedures and trainings that make great software compliant medical device software.

• Contribute to the cybersecurity approach for your software components, including threat modelling and vulnerability management.

• Carry out verification, validation and release activities, together with the quality system documentation that goes with them.

• Provide effort estimates and help plan and scope the software team's work packages.

• Mentor less experienced engineers and take part in peer code reviews that lift quality for the whole team.

• Communicate clearly with management, peers and vendors, with occasional travel to partner companies in the Netherlands and abroad.
