Medical Embedded Engineer

You will join the Medical Embedded Systems group in Eindhoven, designing and implementing firmware for Philips’ next-generation patient monitoring and diagnostic imaging platforms. Your work will span bare-metal drivers on ARM Cortex-M processors to FreeRTOS-based application layers, with a strong emphasis on safety, reliability, and real-time performance. You’ll collaborate closely with systems engineers, hardware designers, and clinical application specialists to bring Class II and III medical devices from concept through regulatory approval.

Day-to-day responsibilities include developing low-level peripheral drivers (I2C, SPI, USB), writing modular C/C++ application code, participating in design reviews, and maintaining thorough documentation aligned with IEC 62304. The team follows a structured V-model development process with continuous integration testing, static analysis, and formal verification steps. Experience with medical device standards or safety-critical development is highly valued, though mentorship is available for strong candidates coming from adjacent regulated industries.

This role offers the opportunity to work on technology that directly impacts patient outcomes, within a multidisciplinary team of more than 50 embedded engineers across Philips’ global R&D network. Hybrid working (3 days onsite per week) is standard, with relocation assistance available for international candidates.
