Job Title Senior Embedded Software Engineer – Algorithm & Signal Processing Job Description Embedded Software & DSP Engineer Responsible for designing, developing, and optimizing embedded software and signal processing algorithms for critical and regulated systems. Your Role Design, implement, and optimize embedded software and firmware in C/C++ for resource-constrained microcontrollers and processors. Develop and integrate advanced signal processing algorithms, including digital filters (FIR, IIR, adaptive filters), FFT-based processing, noise reduction, and real-time data analysis. Translate mathematical models and DSP concepts into efficient, production-ready embedded code with a focus on deterministic performance, low latency, and minimal resource usage. Perform debugging, performance profiling, and optimization of embedded code on target hardware using tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and JTAG debuggers. Collaborate with cross-functional teams (hardware engineers, systems architects, clinical specialists) to define software requirements and ensure seamless hardware–software integration. Participate in full software development lifecycle activities, including requirements analysis, design, implementation, unit and integration testing, code reviews, and documentation. Ensure compliance with applicable standards and processes, especially IEC 62304, ISO 14971, and FDA guidelines, as required. Contribute to risk management, verification and validation (V&V) activities, and configuration management in regulated environments. Support prototyping, feasibility studies, and continuous improvement of existing products. You're The Right Fit If 5–8+ years of professional experience in embedded systems development using C/C++, including algorithm implementation and RTOS usage. Strong knowledge of microcontrollers (ARM Cortex‑M), DSP (FIR/IIR, FFT, spectral analysis), performance optimization, hardware debugging, and embedded development tools. Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Computer Science, or related fields (Master’s degree is a plus). Previous experience in regulated environments (IEC 62304, ISO 14971, FDA), familiarity with MATLAB/Python for prototyping, and a collaborative mindset focused on quality and safety. How We Work Together We believe that we are better together than apart. For our office-based teams, this means working in-person at least 3 days per week.

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
