Lead Embedded C++ Developer

We are seeking a Lead Embedded C++ Developer to drive the real-time backend layer of a Class IIb refractive surgery system running on QNX RTOS. In this role, you will work within a cross-subsystem feature team, implement features end-to-end across the device control layer, and coordinate with frontend and server-side engineers. You will leverage agentic AI tooling daily while maintaining full personal ownership of every line of code.

Please note that working from the office in Wroclaw 5 days per week is required.

Responsibilities

• Implement and maintain safety-critical C++ on QNX for real-time device control, treatment execution and safety functions (Backend RTD board)
• Contribute to features spanning multiple boards (Frontend, Backend, Video Unit) and repositories
• Drive GitHub Copilot agent mode to implement agreed designs and explain every line during PR walkthrough
• Apply TDD practices, with unit tests written first and traceable to ADO Specification Items and Test Cases
• Prepare solution designs in the client's SDD template, referencing specification IDs, with module owner approval before implementation
• Use AI agents to understand modules first, including data flows, dependencies and cross-repo impacts
• Operate CI quality gates, including clang-tidy, clang-format, warnings-as-errors, Doxygen, license-header checks and coverage thresholds
• Work within Conan 2, covering versioning, lockfiles, conan graph build-order and Artifactory promotion pipeline
• Participate in monthly device-in-the-loop integration demos on physical hardware
• Address PR review feedback personally, not by re-prompting the AI

Requirements

• 5+ years of professional experience in C++ (C++17 minimum) with depth in embedded or real-time systems
• Experience with QNX RTOS, or a demonstrable evidence-backed rapid ramp-up path
• Experience in IEC 62304 Class B/C medical device delivery
• Understanding of FDA 21 CFR Part 11 (audit trail, electronic records)
• Active, proficient use of agentic AI tooling with a concrete example and measurable cycle time impact
• Test-driven development as a habit
• Skills in static analysis tooling such as clang-tidy, clang-format or equivalent
• Linux embedded development experience (Video Unit board)

Nice to have

• Skills in Conan 2 (versioning, lockfiles, promotion pipelines)
• Experience in ADO YAML pipeline authoring
• Familiarity with Artifactory integration
• Experience in FPGA interaction (Xilinx/Intel toolchains)
• Background in real-time eye tracking, image processing or medical laser systems
