Firmware Engineering Co-op

What you'd do

• Apply solid firmware design skills to develop medical devices to meet specific performance and deliver goals according to product development quality system, including design, implement, and test firmware and embedded software to realize specific algorithms or/and general applications based on MCU, DSP, or ARM system.
• As a team member, contribute significantly to the completion of various project activities, from definition, identifying firmware functional requirements, implementation, code review, and final release according to medical device development processes.
• Create and implement the software/firmware test plans/protocols and generate test reports to ensure software/firmware design meets the specifications and quality system requirements.
• Work closely with a cross-function team, including design reviews with QA, RA, test engineers, and hardware engineers to ensure the firmware design meets the product requirements, including safety, reliability, and serviceability.
• Be creative and innovative in the product development process
• Make, recommend, or justify critical technical decisions in product design. The decision should be based on broad investigation and testing.
• Document and transfer developed solutions to the manufacturing team for mass production and provide technical support and sustaining development in the launch phase.
• Spring/Summer of 2026 start, 2-3 semester rotation, can be consecutive or non-consecutive semesters. Jan/May start dates are preferred, but other start dates will be considered.
• Hours: 40 hours per week
• Time off – We provide safe and sick time to help you take time for yourself when needed.
• Live well – We offer medical benefit options to help protect you along the way.
