Work Flexibility: Hybrid or Onsite

It's Time to Join Stryker! 

We are looking for a Staff Embedded Software Engineer who enjoys combining hands-on software development with technical ownership. 

In this role, you will remain close to the code while taking ownership of software architecture, integration, and complex technical problems for the products you support. 

The role will initially focus on products within our Urology portfolio, with opportunities to contribute across other Surgical Support products, operating room integration, and future product concepts. 

This is a great opportunity for an engineer who enjoys understanding how the entire product works, solving problems across software, hardware, and systems, and remaining actively involved in building the solution. 

What You Will Do 

• Design, develop, debug, and improve production software using (primarily) C++ on Embedded Linux platforms. 

• Own software architecture and technical direction for assigned products while remaining actively involved in implementation. 

• Translate user, clinical, product, and system needs into software requirements, architecture, interfaces, and working software. 

• Drive integration across application software, embedded firmware, electronics, sensors, controls, user interfaces, and external systems. 

• Lead complex technical investigations and root-cause analysis using code, logs, instrumentation, and hands-on testing. 

• Make sound technical decisions and evaluate design tradeoffs while balancing product, system, and software requirements. 

• Partner closely with Systems, Embedded Software, Electrical, Mechanical, Test, Quality, Regulatory, Manufacturing, and Product Management throughout the product lifecycle. 

• Participate in architecture, design, and code reviews to support high-quality software development. 

• Support other engineers through technical collaboration and knowledge sharing as the software organization continues to grow. 

• Contribute to operating room integration, technology exploration, early discovery, feasibility activities, and prototyping for future products. 

• Support existing software, including troubleshooting and understanding legacy application code as products and platforms evolve. 

What You Need 

 

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

• 4 or more years of relevant software engineering experience is required. 

• Hands-on software development experience using C++ is required. 

• Experience developing and debugging software on Embedded Linux platforms is required.

Preferred Qualifications 

• Experience making software architecture and technical design decisions for embedded products or complex software systems. 

• Experience translating product and system requirements into software designs and working solutions. 

• Experience integrating software with hardware, firmware, electronics, sensors, or other system components. 

• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills, including the ability to investigate complex issues across multiple technical domains. 

• Working knowledge of .NET Framework and C# sufficient to understand existing code, troubleshoot issues, and support future migration activities. 

• Ability to work independently and take technical ownership of an assigned product or software area. 

• Experience developing software for medical devices, complex electromechanical products, or other safety-critical systems. 

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

• Experience with RTOS-based or other real-time embedded systems. 

• Experience troubleshooting issues spanning application software, firmware, electronics, and overall system behavior. 

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

• Experience contributing to early product development, feasibility, prototyping, or technology exploration. 

• Experience collaborating across multidisciplinary engineering teams. 

  

 

• $133,400 - $222,300 USD Annual
