Senior Embedded Software Engineer (C/C++, Yocto, Bare Metal, hybrid model 3 days in office, 2 home office days , Where: Ruggell - Liechtenstein) Senior Software Engineer (Fullstack, hybrid model 3 days in office, 2 home office days, Where: possible in Vienna- Austria, Ruggell - Liechtenstein, Valencia - Spain) German language skills needed! https://phios.group/en/about-us/career/ What we do: contracting
✍️ Tailored application (cached — grounded in your resume)
32 / 100 honest fit
Maynard has genuine C/C++ and embedded-adjacent depth — four years at Medtronic building C++ and Python test frameworks that validated real-time communication protocols and data flows across embedded and cloud components on connected medical devices, plus C API work for IoT endpoints — and safety-critical regulated experience that maps well to rugged embedded product work. The honest gaps are large, though: his recent trajectory is backend/cloud/automation (Python, AWS, CI/CD) rather than hands-on bare-metal firmware, and the resume shows no Yocto, board bring-up, or RTOS/bare-metal development. The role also requires German language skills and on-site presence in Ruggell, Liechtenstein, and neither language ability nor European work authorization appears anywhere in his background — he is currently based in Northridge, CA.
Tailored resume highlights
- Designed and maintained scalable C++ and Python test frameworks validating real-time communication protocols and data flows for connected medical devices at Medtronic.
- Collaborated with cross-functional teams to debug and optimize performance and data-delivery issues spanning embedded and cloud components.
- Led root cause analysis of complex field-found defects, reproducing rare failures in-house and driving resolution across multiple teams — a core skill in regulated, safety-critical device software.
- Implemented secure C and Python APIs with authentication and data access control for IoT endpoints (Go2F), supporting scalable device integration.
- Integrated automated regression and integration pipelines into Jenkins CI/CD, cutting manual test effort 40% and improving deployment reproducibility.
- Operate a self-hosted Linux server running production Flask/Python services end to end — gunicorn, hardened endpoints, cron data pipelines, self-healing watchdogs.
"Why this company?" (draft — personalize before sending)
Phios does contracting, which means dropping into someone else's codebase and becoming useful fast — that's the part of my work I'm strongest at. At Medtronic I've spent four years on connected medical devices, writing C/C++ and Python frameworks against real-time communication protocols and running root-cause analysis on rare field defects across embedded and cloud teams. Regulated device work taught me reliability is a requirement, not a feature, and that's the standard I'd bring to your clients. I also ship production Linux services solo using agentic tooling, so I ramp onto unfamiliar stacks quickly — which is what I'd need to do for Yocto and bare-metal here.
Cover letter (review before sending)
Dear Phios Group hiring team,
I'm writing about your Senior Embedded Software Engineer opening in Ruggell.
My embedded work comes from four years at Medtronic on connected medical devices. As a Senior R&D Software Test Engineer I designed and maintained C++ and Python frameworks that validated real-time communication protocols and data flows, then moved into a Senior Software Engineer role building backend services and validation pipelines for those same devices. Much of that job was debugging across the embedded/cloud boundary and running root-cause analysis on rare field-found defects — reproducing them in-house and driving fixes across teams. Earlier, at Go2F, I built secure C and Python APIs for IoT endpoints. Regulated device software is where I learned that reliability and correctness are requirements, not features.
I should be direct about fit: my hands-on depth is in C/C++ tooling, validation, and backend systems rather than Yocto or bare-metal bring-up, and I'd be learning those. I don't currently have German. If the fullstack track in your posting is a closer match, I'd welcome that conversation.
Thank you for your time.
Daniel Maynard
