Job Title

Software Development Lead (Embedded SW)

Job Description

Software Development Lead (Embedded Linux)

In late January, we announced that Bridgefield Capital signed an agreement to acquire Philips’ Emergency Care business which includes leading brands and products like HeartStart AEDs, Intrepid and DFM100 monitor defibrillators, Tempus monitor and Tempus ALS systems, and Corsium and ECI informatics solutions. We expect the transaction to close at the end of 2025.

With Bridgefield’s support and building on our 40+ year legacy of growth and innovation in emergency medical technology, the Emergency Care business will continue passionately pursuing our mission of saving lives, lowering the cost of healthcare, and advancing the science of resuscitation while serving the public access AED, EMS, military, and hospital market segments. 

In this role and as part of an agile company that has the dedicated resources needed to achieve its strategic goals, you’ll have every opportunity to become a part of the “NewCo” we are forming and grow both personally and professionally and potentially make an even bigger impact on the acute care space – as well as on the consumers, patients and healthcare workers who depend on these innovative life-saving solutions.

Your role:

  • Embedded Software Development: Lead the design, development, and sustainment of embedded software in collaboration with cross-functional teams and external stakeholders.

  • System and Software Support: Provide technical support for customer and product investigations, defect resolution, lifecycle maintenance, and feature enhancements.

  • Process and Documentation: Contribute to software process controls, design documentation, risk management activities, and CAPA processes.

  • Requirements and Architecture: Translate customer and business requirements into robust embedded systems and software architectures, ensuring alignment with product goals.

  • Technical Analysis: Interpret technical documentation such as circuit diagrams and datasheets, and decompose complex designs into integrated electronic, mechanical, and software subsystems.

  • Engineering Excellence: Apply rigorous, science-based engineering practices to design reviews, decision-making, problem solving and verification testing, with a strong focus on risk management and safety.

  • Regulatory Compliance: Ensure adherence to relevant medical device standards (e.g., IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-2-xx, IEC 62304) and quality procedures necessary for regulatory approvals.

  • Cross-functional Collaboration: Foster strong working relationships across R&D, PMO, product management, operations, regulatory, and quality teams, with a particular focus on coordination with principal software subcontractors.

  • Technical mentorship and guidance: Operate as a technical leader within the team, providing guidance, support and oversight as appropriate

  • Be sure to speak to your recruiter about all the salary, bonus and benefits on offer.

How we work together

  • We believe that we are better together than apart. For this role, this means working in-person at least 3 days per week in our Farnborough, Hampshire office.

You’re right for this role if:

  • You have an Engineering degree (or equivalent) in a relevant technical specialty.

  • Your experience has been ideally gained in medical devices, but would also consider other regulated industries (pharma, aerospace, automotive).

  • You have experience leading software development in an embedded Linux environment.

  • You are experienced in embedded electronic / software systems (including comms technologies like TCP/IP, ethernet, USB, WiFi, Bluetooth), software design, object-orientated design, APIs, software quality, IEC 62304.

  • You have worked in product development within an ISO 14971 quality system (preferably including experience of product approvals for EU-MDD, EU-MDR and FDA).

  • You have a flexible attitude, with a willingness to accept and drive change, work within a dynamic environment

  • You are a clear and concise communicator, with the ability to present to a broad range of stakeholders

If you’re interested in this role and have many, but not all, of the experiences needed, we encourage you to apply. You may still be the right candidate for this or other opportunities at Philips. Learn more about our commitment to diversity and inclusion here .

Because we are at our best when you are, you can safely share any reasonable tools or adjustments needed during our recruitment process and beyond.
