Staff Embedded Software & Controls Engineer

It's Time to Join Stryker!

We are looking for a Staff Embedded Software & Controls Engineer who enjoys working close to the hardware and solving difficult real-time product problems.

In this role, you will design and develop embedded software and control algorithms that directly drive product behavior, including pressure and temperature control, motors, pumps, sensors, fluid management, state machines, and fault handling.

The role will initially focus on products within our Urology portfolio while contributing to future generations of Surgical Support products.

This is an opportunity for an engineer who likes to write code, run experiments, understand physical system behavior, work directly with hardware, and keep investigating until the root cause of a problem is understood.

What You Will Do

• Design, develop, test, and debug embedded software using C/C++ on real-time embedded platforms.

• Develop and optimize real-time control algorithms for pressure, temperature, motors, pumps, sensors, fluid-management systems, and other electromechanical components.

• Design, implement, and tune feedback-control algorithms, including PID and other closed-loop control approaches.

• Develop state machines, fault handling, diagnostics, logging, and safety-related embedded behaviors.

• Use sensor data, test data, instrumentation, and hands-on experimentation to understand physical system behavior and improve product performance.

• Develop firmware and low-level interfaces for sensors, actuators, motors, pumps, electronics, and other product hardware.

• Investigate and resolve complex interactions across software, firmware, controls, electronics, and the physical system.

• Translate system and product requirements into embedded software and controls solutions.

• Partner closely with Software, Systems, Electrical, Mechanical, Test, Quality, Manufacturing, and Regulatory teams throughout development and post-market support.

• Contribute to technical design reviews, code reviews, verification activities, root-cause investigations, and future product development.

• Support integration, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement of complex electromechanical products.

What You Need

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Software Engineering, Controls Engineering, or a related field is required.

• 4+ years of relevant industry experience is required.

• Strong embedded software development experience using C/C++ is required.

• Experience developing software on a real-time embedded platform, such as an RTOS, Embedded Linux, or another real-time operating environment is required.

• Hands-on experience developing or working with feedback-control systems, including PID control, closed-loop control, control-loop tuning, or similar techniques is required.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working with sensors, actuators, motors, pumps, electronics, or other electromechanical systems.

• Experience using test data, instrumentation, or other engineering methods to evaluate and troubleshoot physical system behavior.

• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills, including the ability to investigate issues spanning software, hardware, controls, and physical-system behavior.

• Experience integrating embedded software with hardware and electromechanical systems.

• Experience developing and tuning closed-loop control systems involving pressure, thermal, motor, pump, flow, sensor, or other physical systems.

• Experience with Embedded Linux and/or RTOS-based systems.

• Experience with hardware/software integration and debugging using real-world test data and instrumentation.

• Exposure to GUI development using Qt/QML or similar technologies.

• Familiarity with .NET Framework and C#.

• Familiarity with verification, validation, risk management, design controls, and regulated product development.

• Experience developing medical devices, complex electromechanical products, robotics, industrial automation, or other safety-critical systems.

• Experience working across multidisciplinary engineering teams to solve complex system-level problems.

• $112,900 - $188,100 USD Annual
