Senior Embedded Systems Lead - Biomedical Instrumentation

We are supporting one of our partner companies in Türkiye's biomedical technology ecosystem in hiring an experienced **Senior Embedded Systems Lead**.

This role sits at the intersection of embedded firmware, electronics design, hardware/software integration, and product development for regulated biomedical devices. The ideal candidate is not only a strong hands-on engineer, but also someone who can coordinate firmware work, collaborate closely with electronics and mechanical teams, and help bring reliable device software from prototype to production.

The position is based in **Istanbul** and requires regular on-site collaboration. Candidates already based in Istanbul, especially on the Anatolian side, will have a practical advantage.

## Tasks

• Lead and contribute hands-on to embedded firmware development for biomedical / electro-mechanical device platforms.
• Develop reliable firmware in C/C++ for ARM Cortex-M based microcontrollers, especially STM32-class platforms.
• Coordinate firmware tasks across requirements, architecture, implementation, debugging, integration, and release.
• Work closely with electronics, hardware, mechanical, UI/software, quality, and product teams.
• Support hardware/software integration for systems involving sensors, motor control, data acquisition, communication interfaces, and device-to-PC communication.
• Participate in board bring-up, peripheral validation, firmware debugging, and production test readiness.
• Review schematics and PCB layouts from a firmware and system reliability perspective.
• Contribute to analog and digital circuit design discussions where firmware behavior, signal quality, power, or EMI/EMC are involved.
• Help improve engineering practices around Git, documentation, code review, iterative development, and release discipline.
• Troubleshoot complex field, production, firmware, and hardware interaction issues.

## Requirements

• 7+ years of hands-on embedded software / firmware development experience.Strong C/C++ development experience in resource-constrained embedded environments.
• Practical experience with ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers; STM32F4 or similar STM32 families are highly preferred.
• Experience with common embedded communication protocols such as I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, RS-232, RS-485, Ethernet, or USB.Ability to work close to hardware: board bring-up, oscilloscope / logic analyzer debugging, peripheral-level troubleshooting, and production issue analysis.
• Good understanding of analog and digital electronics.Experience with PCB design workflows and layout review; Altium Designer experience is a strong plus.
• Awareness of signal integrity, power supply design, grounding, noise, EMI/EMC, and manufacturability considerations.
• Experience leading, mentoring, or coordinating firmware / embedded engineering work for at least 3 years.
• Comfortable using Git-based workflows; experience setting up or improving Git practices is a plus.
• Familiarity with Agile, iterative product development, code reviews, issue tracking, and engineering documentation.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work with cross-functional technical teams.

**Nice to have:**

• Experience in medical devices, diagnostics, laboratory instruments, biotechnology, life sciences, or regulated hardware products.
• Familiarity with ISO 13485, IEC 62304, IVDR, CE, EMC/LVD, safety-critical development, or similar regulated product environments.
• Experience with RTOS, bootloaders, secure firmware update, embedded Linux, device test software, or manufacturing test tools.
• Prior ownership of firmware architecture for production devices.
• Experience with motion control, sensors, thermal systems, fluidic systems, optical systems, or electro-mechanical platforms.

## Benefits

What Makes This Role Interesting

• You will work on real-world biomedical device platforms, not only isolated firmware modules.
• The role combines firmware, electronics, integration, and technical coordination.
• You will have visible ownership across prototype, validation, production, and field reliability.
• The team needs someone who can bridge hardware, firmware, product, and quality conversations.
• This is a strong fit for engineers who enjoy staying hands-on while also guiding technical execution.
