Their wearable devices are redefining possibilities in patient care, blending innovative design with real-world impact.

As part of their continued growth, they are now looking for a talented Firmware Development Engineer to join the team. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with a solid track record in embedded systems, particularly within highly regulated sectors like MedTech, aerospace, or automotive.

In this role, you'll take the lead on designing, developing, and fine-tuning firmware for next-generation wearable devices. You’ll work at the intersection of precision engineering and real-time performance, ensuring every line of code meets the highest standards for safety, quality, and regulatory compliance.

Key Responsibilities:

Design, develop, and maintain firmware for embedded systems using STM32 microcontrollers
Implement and optimise RTOS (FreeRTOS) and embedded communication protocols (Bluetooth BLE, I2C)
Ensure compliance with relevant industry standards including IEC 62304 & ISO 13485
Collaborate with cross-functional teams including hardware, software, and regulatory
Lead firmware reviews, debug issues, and drive performance and reliability improvements
Maintain clear and thorough documentation across development and testing processes

Qualifications and Skills:
Strong C++ experience in commercial-grade firmware for embedded systems
Solid understanding of STM32 architecture, RTOS, and low-power systems
Proficiency in Bluetooth BLE and serial communication protocols (e.g. I2C)
Experience building firmware that interfaces with iOS/Android via BLE
Knowledge of regulated environments and applicable standards (e.g. IEC 62304, ISO 13485)
Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and embedded cybersecurity

The Future of Medical Technology Jobs: Careers That Don’t Exist Yet

Medical technology—often referred to as MedTech—is one of the fastest-growing and most transformative sectors in the global economy. It sits at the intersection of healthcare, engineering, and digital innovation, producing tools and systems that improve how diseases are diagnosed, monitored, and treated. From the first stethoscope in the 19th century to today’s robotic surgical platforms, MedTech has always pushed boundaries. In the UK, MedTech is a powerful economic engine. It generates an estimated £27.6 billion annually, supports more than 138,000 jobs, and contributes over £5 billion in exports each year. Importantly, it is not just a financial driver but also a sector that directly shapes health outcomes for millions of people. With an ageing population, increasing demand for personalised healthcare, and rapid advances in digital technologies, the sector is set to expand dramatically in the coming decades. Yet, we are only scratching the surface. As artificial intelligence, robotics, nanotechnology, synthetic biology, and digital health converge, many of the most important MedTech jobs of the future don’t exist today. These roles will appear at the intersection of clinical practice, ethics, data science, and engineering. This article explores why MedTech will generate new jobs, the future roles likely to emerge, how today’s positions will evolve, why the UK is well positioned, and how professionals can prepare now.
