NDI team members are passionate about delivering innovative technology that will help to unlock new procedures and solutions. Interested in becoming a valued member of the NDI team? We’re growing and looking for great people to join us.
Our team of professionals at the Northern Digital Inc. (NDI) office located in Shelburne, Vermont is currently recruiting for a Firmware Developer hybrid role (Shelburne Office and Work from Home) with experience in in the development of embedded systems for use in medical devices and simulations.
How Will You Make an Impact:
As a member of a small dynamic team of engineers you will be responsible for detailed design, development, integration, and release of the real-time embedded software that powers NDI’s advanced measurement systems. The work includes development of real-time data acquisition, digital signal processing and communication protocols. The successful candidate will be highly organized, results-focused, and effective at detailed software design, implementation and debugging.
What you Will Be Doing:
Participate in discussions with internal/external customers to ensure software requirements are fully understood and recorded
Collaborate with the systems engineer, software architect and other software engineers to understand and document software specifications
Design and generate embedded software to NDI’s internal software development standards, and produce associated technical documentation to meet design control requirements
