GE HealthCare Senior Embedded Control Systems Engineer 

India, Karnataka 

941281692

This role would be responsible for designing, developing and testing Embedded Software (Firmware), control System platforms and systems that control and runs on devices that need to be tailored to the needs of the hardware that it has to control and run on (i.e. directly controls the real time functions of a physical device such as motors, alternators, engines, valves, fans, and other devices and products). Typically requires a deep understanding of the characteristics of the physical device being controlled, the real-time functions it is expected to perform and the ability to design, develop, implement, and test the logic and software required to realize the real-time functionality. Usually tailored for products and services across various P&Ls. Impacts quality of own work and the work of others on the team. This role is having responsibility of module ownership, cross functional collaboration and SW integration. Working experience with AGILE and SCRUM approach is added advantage. Executes standard operational/technical tasks typically subject to instructions and work routines. There is latitude to rearrange the sequence to complete task/duties based on changing work situations.
