You will serve as a technical leader within a tightly integrated, multi-disciplinary software team, collaborating with engineering and science disciplines to deliver Vital Bio’s flagship diagnostic platform, VitalOne.
You will architect, design, document, implement, and verify low-level system software that integrates custom hardware, embedded Linux, and a variety of internal and external peripherals.
You will lead and guide the integration of electrical, mechanical, optical, and system components, ensuring seamless hardware-software interaction and overall system reliability.
You will mentor and support other engineers, providing code reviews, technical guidance, and best practices for sustainable engineering processes in a regulated medical device environment.
You will drive the expansion and optimization of control and application software running on integrated devices, R&D systems, and the cloud, ensuring scalability and maintainability.
You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to define system requirements, refine hardware integrations, and support the full product development lifecycle from prototyping to commercialization.
You will champion the use of modern build systems, automated testing, and system image integration frameworks (e.g., Yocto, Buildroot, NixOS) to ensure high-quality, reproducible software releases.
You will troubleshoot, diagnose, and resolve complex system-level issues, leveraging your expertise in embedded Linux, device drivers, and hardware abstraction.
You will contribute to the development and documentation of system requirements, design specifications, and test protocols to support regulatory submissions and quality assurance.
Requirements:
You must have extensive experience with C or C++ in systems programming, including kernel-level development.
You should possess advanced proficiency with Rust or have a strong desire to drive Rust adoption as a primary implementation language.
You need deep expertise with embedded Linux environments, including boot process, device driver model, devicetree, and system-level debugging.
A strong background in automated build systems and system image integration frameworks (e.g., Yocto, Buildroot, NixOS) is required.
You must have a proven ability to read electronics schematics, interpret device datasheets, and implement robust hardware integrations.
You should demonstrate success in leading technical initiatives and mentoring engineers in a collaborative, fast-paced environment.
Experience supporting sustainable engineering processes for highly complex, regulated products (medical device experience strongly preferred) is necessary.
Excellent problem-solving, communication, and documentation skills are essential.
Benefits:
You will lead the development of system software that powers groundbreaking diagnostic technology and directly impacts patient care.
You will collaborate with world-class engineers and scientists in a culture built on trust, agility, and ownership.
You will take ownership of your work and help shape the future of accessible healthcare.
You will have opportunities to grow professionally while solving some of the hardest challenges in medical technology.
