Responsibilities:
• Design, develop, test, and optimize embedded software for iota's devices across the entire product lifecycle.
• Optimize RF/BLE power delivery and control system implemented on an embedded platform. Use modern software techniques to support multiple products while maximizing software reuse.
• Collaborate with software engineers to develop the "big data" infrastructure for efficiently sending all required data from the embedded processor to the application software, cloud backend, as well as retrieving any configuration data and messages from the backend.
• Own the process of verifying embedded software to medical regulatory standards while maintaining an industry-leading development pace.
• Improve team software development processes and infrastructure including DevOps activities.

What you'll bring:
• B.S. in computer science, electrical engineering, or related technical field, with 6+ years industry work experience programming in C/C++
• OR M.S. in computer science, electrical engineering, or related technical field, with 4+ years industry work experience programming in C/C++
• Experience in Real-time OS (RTOS) for embedded platforms
• Experience in wireless communication protocols like Bluetooth low energy (BLE)

Preferred qualifications:
• Experience with test automation tools (e.g., Jenkins) and modern software test/deployment methodologies.
• Comfortable working in a python environment for tests and prototyping.
