From Lexington Medical, Inc.'s posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
As an Embedded Software Engineer at Lexington Medical, you will write and debug the firmware that drives a surgical stapler, C and C++ on ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers controlling the motors, sensors, and mechanisms inside the device. This is an early-career role for an engineer who has already done real embedded work in an internship or co-op and wants to keep building hardware-driven products rather than move away from the hardware.
Because the electrical and mechanical engineers who designed the board and the mechanism sit in the same building in Bedford, you debug at the bench with the people who can change either one.
Lexington Medical is a medical device company designing and manufacturing surgical stapling technology at our headquarters in Bedford, Massachusetts, just outside Boston. Our AEON™ Endostapler is an FDA-cleared, minimally invasive surgical stapler used in operating rooms around the world. With engineering, manufacturing, and quality working closely together, engineers stay close to the product and see their work move from an idea through prototyping, testing, manufacturing, and ultimately into the operating room.
As an Embedded Software Engineer at Lexington Medical, you will contribute to the development, testing, and integration of embedded firmware in the AEON™ surgical stapling platform and the products behind it. You will implement and debug low-level drivers and communication interfaces (SPI, I2C, CAN, UART, USB) as well as the application logic that commands and monitors electromechanical subsystems, then take that firmware to the bench and prove it works against real hardware.
You will work day to day with embedded, electrical, mechanical, and systems engineers, particularly during hardware bring-up, when firmware, board, and mechanism all meet for the first time.
You will also learn how software gets built for a Class II medical device. That means writing code that can be reviewed and traced, documenting requirements, design decisions, and test results to satisfy FDA design controls and IEC 62304, and supporting verification and validation through bench and system-level testing. Our teams are small, so you will own real modules early and have direct access to the engineers making the design decisions around them.
Within your first three to six months, you own a driver or firmware module end to end, from implementation through bench verification, and the team trusts your test results.
By one year, you can take a new board revision from power-on to working firmware, and you catch real problems in other engineers’ code reviews.
The engineers who work alongside you can pick up your firmware and your documentation without asking you what it does.

This position is based at our headquarters in Bedford, Massachusetts, in the Greater Boston area, and is an on-site role.
