Embedded Firmware Engineer

Join Clarius Mobile Health as an Embedded Firmware Engineer, where you'll develop and debug FPGA firmware and embedded software for handheld medical ultrasound devices. You'll work closely with the algorithm team to implement and port firmware IP across custom hardware platforms, ensuring compliance with project plans and industry standards. This is a two-year fixed-term contract with a strong likelihood of extension.

Due to the hands-on nature of this role, you will be required to work on-site for the majority of the first 4-6 months of the contract. A hybrid arrangement may be considered thereafter. As a result, we can only consider candidates who are within a commutable distance of our Vancouver, BC office

This is a two-year fixed-term contract with a strong likelihood of extension upon meeting project deliverables

Responsibilities

• Contribuer au développement et au débogage du firmware FPGA et du logiciel embarqué pour des dispositifs d'échographie médicale portables.
