This is not a narrowly scoped firmware position. It is a system level embedded role with real ownership.

The Smart Seat is a wellness product that supports Software-as-Medical Device (SaMD) extensions. Familiarity with medical-device development is a plus, but success in this role depends on strong embedded fundamentals, sound engineering judgment, and the ability to move quickly without sacrificing quality. This role reports to the CTO.

• Comfortable operating in a fast-moving startup environment with incomplete information and evolving requirements.
• Able to balance speed and quality, knowing when to optimize and when to ship.
• Strong sense of ownership, you care deeply about the system working in the real world, not just passing unit tests.
• Clear communicator who can work cross-functionally without heavy process overhead.
• Willing to roll up your sleeves and solve problems wherever they appear.
• Strong analytical and problem solving skills.
